Euro 2024: I’ve covered my ENTIRE house in England flags – people moan it’s an ‘eyesore’ but I do it every tournament

A FOOTIE-mad dad who's covered his entire home with England flags says he doesn't care that people call it an "eyesore".

Paul Bibby, 58, gets into the spirit every tournament, wrapping his Chelmsford house in hundreds of Saint George's Cross flags and bunting.

And this year is no different - he spent a day and a half putting up the display this week ahead of England's opener against Serbia on Sunday.

Paul told The Sun: “I love getting behind the team every tournament.

“In the past I’ve just had a few but I decided it’s time to go all out this summer.

“I started with just one, but then I saw a bundle that was quite cheap, so I thought, why not do the whole thing up?"

People were quick to slam the display, with one person writing online: "What an eyesore. Glad it’s nowhere near me." But Paul batted off accusations that the flag might upset neighbours or offend people.

He continued: “The neighbours love it. I’ve not had anyone say a bad word about it.

“Besides, they know I’m a bit mad.

“I know these days some people find the England flag offensive, but it’s my house, so I’m free to do with it as I please.

“People need to show support for the country and there’s no better way to do it.”
