Emergency services are warning people across the region to think about their safety before, during and after the Euro 2020 final.

Dry and sunny weather has been forecast in some areas which is likely to lead to many people watching the game outdoors.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service says people need to take particular care around barbecues and fire pits.

Lincolnshire Police are also warning people to be sensible during the evening. Officers say even though they were only called to fewer than 20 football related incidents during Wednesday's semi-final, they want reduce that number. They say large groups can be a particular concern.
