Weebles, dogs and garden parties - South Tyneside celebrates England World Cup win

England beat Croatia 4-2 in the World Cup - and here’s some shots from around South Tyneside and beyond.

England did the business against Croatia in their World Cup opener - and it seems South Tyneside loved it, too.

Harry Kane (2), Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford got on the scoresheet as Thomas Tuchel’s men kicked off their campaign in the US off in style. They won the game 4-2.

We asked you guys to send in your reader photos of where you’re watching the game and we got shots of decked out gardens, staffies with England specs on and lots of youngsters of the region enjoying the match - someone even covered a Weeble in the England flag.

And here’s the best shots!
