A hilarious video taken at a wedding shows the guests ignoring the nuptial celebrations to watch England's thrilling clash against Switzerland in the Euros.
The video was posted to X, formerly Twitter, by Gary Stafford (@staffordgary) with a caption that reads: 'At a wedding when the football is on cmon England'.
It begins by showing a handful of guests gathered outside chatting in the sun, before panning to reveal the rest of the attendees sat at their tables or huddled around a projector broadcasting the quarter final game.

The Three Lions celebrate after winning the UEFA Euro 2024 quarter-final football match between England and Switzerland at the Duesseldorf Arena in Duesseldorf today
In true British fashion, the majority of the party have decided that the England game is more deserving of their attention than the wedding celebrations.
In early June, when the Euros kicked off, brides from across the country squirmed at the thought of their guests, and more importantly their partners, prioritising football over their nuptials.
One such bride was Lauren Singer who got married to an avid football fan on the day of England's opening match against Serbia on June 16 and was 'fuming' about the clash.
'It's the England game featuring my wedding,' the 31-year-old told Metro.co.uk. 'It's cost us £19,000… I wouldn't care if it was any other game because my guests wouldn't be so fussed about it, but it's England.'

The couple booked the venue for the ceremony well ahead of their big day, but were later told by the venue that it would be hosting their reception on one side of the club while football fans watch England play in the room next door.
Lauren's worst nightmare? She said: 'Walking down the aisle of that church – all of his side being on their phones because they're fans.'
Millions of Brits had their faces glued to the TV again this evening to watch Southgate's men beat Switzerland 5-3 on penalties in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 in Dusseldorf.
