Football fans across Lincolnshire are being asked to keep coronavirus restrictions in mind when watching England plays Scotland in the Euros.

With people expected to get together in homes and pubs for tonight's Group D clash, health officials are reminding people to follow the current guidance and stay safe.

Lincolnshire County Council suggests people use a lateral flow test before meeting up with others to watch the match explaining that it will help to keep "friends, family and the community safe".
