Artist creates England crest on beach ahead of World Cup opener

Toby Clark, a football fan from Lowestoft, has recreated the England crest using sand and pebbles on a local beach in anticipation of England's World Cup match against Croatia in Dallas, scheduled for 21:00. The creation, measuring 6m by 8m, took Clark eight and a half hours to complete. After a vehicle rolled over it, he restored the crest, taking an additional two hours. Clark expressed that he hopes the team will win, or his efforts would feel wasted. Other supporters in the area, like John and Rachel Goode, are also showing patriotic spirit by decorating their home with bunting and flags in preparation for the tournament.
