Numerous pubs around Preston, Chorley and South Ribble opened up early today (Sunday, August 20) to show the match and their support for the Lionesses.

Whilst the Post’s reporter headed to the Guild in Preston, the photographer headed down to the Hunter’s in Walton-le-Dale instead to capture the faces of the excited, and then disappointed fans.

Below is a selection of images from the day:
