Aerial shots of the 52,888-seater venue make for spectacular viewing – and show progress is going well.

And breathtaking pics taken from over the River Mersey at dusk gave fans a glimpse of what to expect when arriving for night matches under the lights.
One fan said: “Sensational.”
Another wrote: “Please tell me there’ll be royal blue neon lighting running round the roof so she can be seen for miles on the river!!”

Everton are splashing out £500million on the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium to replace Goodison Park, the first major football stadium built in England.
They have played at their current home since 1892 – with the ground hosting more top-flight matches than any other in the UK.
