I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who came to Dave’s wake yesterday.

It meant so much to see so many of his friends and family come together to remember him and celebrate his life. Seeing everyone sharing stories, memories and a few laughs was a lovely reminder of just how many people Dave touched throughout his life.

Onto the game of the night!!

⚽ ENGLAND vs CROATIA 🇭🇷

The big game is here! 🔥

📅 Today
⏰ Kick-off: 17:00

Get ready for an action-packed evening as England take on Croatia! 🙌

☀️ Looks like the sun has decided to make an appearance!

No better excuse to head down to the pub, grab a cold drink and enjoy the sunshine with good company. 🍻🌞

The latest in sport:
England have just beaten Czechia 2–0, with discussion around Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Trent Alexander-Arnold following the game.

Coming up: Arsenal–Leeds, Man Utd–Spurs and Liverpool–Man City are among the Premier League fixtures on 10–11 October.

🏎️ F1: The circus has landed in Malaysia! Verstappen was quickest in FP1, but Leclerc fired back to top FP2. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli is still sitting pretty at the top — but there’s plenty of racing still to come! 🏁

Following Dave’s funeral today, we’ll be gathering for his wake — a chance to come together, share stories, remember the good times and raise a glass to Dave.

Everyone is welcome to join us. ❤️🥂
