England fans issued warning over £2,500 fine for flying St George's Cross

The Women's Euros final is set for Sunday evening, with the Lionesses facing off against Spain, but England fans have been warned against flying the St George's Cross. This is because a little-known local council is planning law that could potentially see football fans slapped with a £2,500 fine. Back during the Boris Johnson Conservative Government, the rules on flying flag were relaxed in an effort to boost patriotism and national pride.

They can be any size, as long as they meet certain conditions. Where flag fliers need to worry is when it comes to flagpoles 'projecting from any part of the building other than the roof'. Consent is required if you live in a controlled area such as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Those failing to comply with the rules could be reported and fined up to £2,500. To avoid this, simply fly the flagpole from your roof instead, as flags on a vertical flagpole flown from the roof have no maximum size, unless you're in an AONB. The Government states: 'Two flags on the same flagpole projecting from any part of a building are permitted provided one of the flags is from category (a) (flags which do not need consent) such as a national flag and that flag is flown in the superior position. 'Otherwise, only one flag on a projecting flagpole on a building is permitted. 'The flag may not exceed 2 square metres in size.' All flags must be: maintained in a condition that does not impair the overall visual appearance of the site kept in a safe condition have the permission of the owner of the site on which they are displayed (this includes the Highway Authority if the sign is to be placed on highway land) not obscure, or hinder the interpretation of official road, rail, waterway or aircraft signs, or otherwise make hazardous the use of these types of transport be removed carefully where so required by the planning authority Full list of flags that do not require consent: Any country's national flag, civil ensign or civil air ensign The flag of the Commonwealth, the United Nations or any other international organisation of which the United Kingdom is a member A flag of any island, county, district, borough, burgh, parish, city, town or village within the United Kingdom The flag of the Black Country, East Anglia, Wessex, any Part of Lincolnshire, any Riding of Yorkshire or any historic county within the United Kingdom The flag of Saint David (Wales) The flag of Saint Patrick (Ireland) The flag of any administrative area within any country outside the United Kingdom Any flag of His Majesty's forces The Armed Forces Day flag

Commanders fans make their presence felt at team's first open practice

The line of cars outside the Washington Commanders practice facility stretched far down the road outside well before 7 a.m. on Sunday. The sun had barely cracked the horizon when hundreds of fans were already streaming toward the team's first training camp practice open to the public. This seems to be the new reality for a franchise that not long ago could hardly draw anyone to an open camp day. Just three years ago, when the team opened practice, the hillsides beside the fields were essentially empty. But the crowds returned last summer with the hope that No. 2 overall pick Jayden Daniels could become the team's next great quarterback. This summer, after a run to last season's NFC championship game, an open practice is something many people want to see.
