The home's general manager, Karen Francis, said residents were delighted to watch this year's fixtures after the disappointment of the tournament being postponed last year.

She added: “We have loved watching the Euros, we have watched pretty much all the matches – lots of our residents are footie fans.

"It has been fantastic to be able to cheer on all the home sides and especially England, it makes all the difference when your side is winning."
