Gareth Southgate and the Three Lions have made a knitted appearance in Watford by a homeowner who has been creating knitted window displays for the last 15 years.

Farzana Chaudry, who lives in Parkgate Road in Watford, has shown her support for the Euro 2020 final today against Italy through her traditional knitted displays.

The display features Southgate sitting with three lions – each resembling distinctive haircuts from England players.

The lions on display resemble Kalvin Philip, Jack Grealish and Harry Kane.

Ms Chaudry says that she started work on the display immediately after the semi-final whistle was blown.

Speaking about her latest project, she said: “I have been a passionate Watford fan my whole life. Over the decades there has definitely been an increase in diversity in the stands, Watford FC have done much in this space. 

“The England team of this era are a great representation of England and the positive impact of immigration and cohesiveness. 

“Gareth is the perfect leader with grace, empathy and humility.”

She continued: “Football starts at grass roots, I hope this team encourages even more diversity in the game and I hope both non league and league teams see new supporters as a result”.

Ms Chaudry, who hosts a radio show on BBC Radio Three Counties every Sunday, has been creating knitted display to recognise seasonal holidays and major events for years now.

Last year, she embarked on one of her biggest creations when she paid tribute to the key workers of the Covid pandemic.

Nurses, a dcotor, surgeon, scientist, service engineer, paramedic, cleaner and a greengrocer were all knitted and display in the window of Ms Chaudry's home.
