Pubs, sports clubs and other venues across the Harrogate district are gearing up for a morning like no other tomorrow, as England’s Lionesses face Spain in the World Cup Final.
The match takes place at Stadium Australia in Sydney, kicking off at 11am UK time.
The early start has not deterred fans and businesses alike from making the most of the occasion.
No doubt the biggest cheers will be for Rachel Daly, the former Rossett School student and Killinghall Nomads junior player, who will be hoping to start once again for the Lionesses.
Here’s a round-up of some of the places putting on a special event for the match.
