Our readers have been showing their support by sending in snaps of themselves and their kids wearing the England kit over the years.

And in the stands and pubs across Britain, fans have been belting out classics for manager Gareth Southgate and his squad, including Fat Les’s Vindaloo.

But there are three other tunes that have emerged as fan favourites.

Nicholas James, from Liskeard, Cornwall, aged ten in team’s 1982 World Cup home kit

The indomitable Three Lions, by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner and rock band The Lightning Seeds, is the go-to chant.

And it is closely followed by the reworked versions of Atomic Kitten’s Whole Again and Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond.

The Nineties and Noughties girl band are releasing the updated track today.

Meanwhile, Sweet Caroline was the first song Wembley DJ Tony Parry played after England beat Germany 2-0 last week.

He said: “I was going to play Vindaloo, but went with my gut.

Even the German fans were belting it out in the end. It’s a song that all fans can enjoy.”
