Glamourous WAGS Dani Dyer, Megan Pickford and Tolami Benson have led the Three Lions’ family and friends as they line up to cheer on their boyfriends in England’s group game against Denmark as they arrived at Frankfurt stadium in Germany on Thursday.
Taking their seats at Frankfurt Arena they sparked scenes of jubilation while waiting for the UEFA Euro 2024 group stage match between Denmark and England.
Among those spotted were Kyle Walker‘s wife Annie Kilner and love rival Lauryn Goodman, who fathered two children with the footballer.
Jordan Pickford‘s glamorous wife Megan was seen with her hair perfectly curled as she stepped off the coach. Among those gathered to cheer on their boys were Harry Kane‘s wife Kate; Ollie Watkins‘ girlfriend Ellie Alderson; Abi Yaxley, partner of Lewis Dunk; and Conor Gallagher’s girlfriend Aine Kennedy.
Meanwhile, Jude Bellingham‘s model ‘girlfriend’ posted an update from a shoot in Paris after it was claimed their romance ‘was a publicity stunt’.
It comes as England football fans hit the pub early today while others in Germany flooded the streets of Frankfurt ahead of this afternoon’s Euro 2024 match against Denmark.
Some supporters worked from home today while others took the day off – and a series of companies confirmed they will even allow their staff to leave the office early so they can get home in time to watch the match kick off at 5pm on BBC One.
Pubs, bars and outdoor viewing areas will be packed as supporters make the most of the summer weather with 23C (73F) highs and sunshine forecast this afternoon.
Tens of thousands of fans descended on Frankfurt on Thursday afternoon, with the Prince of Wales leaving behind his cancer-stricken wife Kate to return to royal duties as he flew to the city earlier today.
Pop sensation Ed Sheeran was also seen in the crowd, joining the host of England fans on the edge of their seats.

An estimated 18.5million people watched England’s winning start to Euro 2024 on TV against Serbia on Sunday night as Jude Bellingham scored in a 1-0 victory and tonight’s match is expected to attract similar numbers.
Back in the WAGS corner, Dani, 27, flashed a huge smile while sipping on a drink at the stadium and proudly wearing her partner Jarrod Bowen‘s number 20.
The Love Island winner and the West Ham United footballer are parents to one-year-old twin girls Summer and Star, who have accompanied Dani on the trip.
She was seen posing for photos with her partner’s mother, posting a picture to social media.
Also drawing attention is the expected face-to-face meeting of Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner and his ex-lover Lauryn Goodman, with whom he has fathered two children.
The players’ glamorous wives and girlfriends shared updates to their respective Instagram accounts as they documented their trip and wished their partners good luck ahead of the match.
Dani shared snaps from the airport after touching down with her children and later uploaded a selfie with Jarrod’s mum.
Sharing a behind-the-scenes snap, Bukayo Saka’s girlfriend Tolami posed for a fun photo wearing a white tennis skirt and Prada jacket.
The pair are thought to have started dating in late 2020 but have kept their relationship quiet until the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Laura Celia Valk was notably absent when Bellingham scored the winning goal in England’s opening Euro game against Serbia on Sunday.
As the WAGs gathered to support their partners, the Dutch beauty was, according to her Instagram account, enjoying a glamorous trip to Paris – some 280 miles away from the match in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
On the eve of England’s clash with Denmark, in Frankfurt, Laura was still in the city of love without Bellingham.
The Mail revealed the mystery surrounding their ‘romance’ on Wednesday and they don’t appear to be in a relationship at all.
Instead, weeks of rumours were prompted by a publicity stunt orchestrated by an opportunistic executive at Manchester-based clothing company Pretty Little Thing, where Ms Valk is a model.
In details believed to have been leaked by the firm to a red top newspaper, Ms Valk, 25, was said to be ‘completely smitten’ and had spent time at his home in the Spanish city where he plays for Real Madrid.
While neither party has commented on reports of a relationship, two months on from Ms Valk’s photoshoot the pair still haven’t been seen together and there are claims that Bellingham is still on the exclusive dating app Raya.
A source close to Pretty Little Thing said that when bosses overheard that she knew Jude, an employee at the company contacted the newspaper.
