The Kirby estate in Bermondsey, South London, has been covered in flags in preparation for England's debut in this World Cup

The display of support for the English team has put a smile on many faces and has even got a reaction from three lions stars Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The two players found the time to call organiser and resident Chris Dowse to thank him and the estate for their show of support. Dowse did not miss the opportunity to ask them to bring the cup home.

The St George's flags are joined by flags from Colombia, Poland, Spain, Portugal and Morocco to represent the other nationalities living on the estate. 

England's opening game sees them face Tunisia on Monday at 8pm.
