THE flags will be flying and the drums will be beating at the Mill Stone pub, in Newton, as staff and regulars hope to inspire England to glory.

England play their first group game in Germany against Paraguay on Saturday afternoon.

Ian Whamond, landlord at the Mill Lane pub, says he and his team will be right behind Sven's boys.

He said: "I'm a big England fan.

We've really gone to town inside the pub as well - you should see it! I've got drums and we had a practice on Saturday.

"The noise was awesome."

He believes England have the credentials to bring the trophy home.

He said: "They've got the potential to go all the way. They just need a bit of luck."
