The Hugglescote Bear knows the score ahead of Sunday's Euro Final between England and Italy at Wembley,

Local resident Hayley Forrester has made sure the landmark sculpture is fully prepared for the Three Lions' bid to win the European Championships.

Decorated in red and white colours - with balloons and an England flag, the bear is in no doubt that 'It's Coming Home'.

The tournament has captured the attention of the nation after England reached their first major final since 1966.

The Hugglescote Bear sculpture was commissioned by Hugglescote-Donington Le Heath Forum with grant funding from The Sence Valley Environmental Improvement Forum and The National Forest Company.

The 2m-high Bath Limestone sculpture features as a gateway piece for Hugglescote.

Rumours that the Bear's favourite player is Jack Grrrrrrrrrr-ealish have yet to be confirmed (groan!!).
