Mid Cheshire Hospitals is extending its visiting hours on Sunday so patients can watch England’s Euro 2024 final with family and friends.

Leighton Hospital’s visiting times for 14 July, which usually end at 7pm, will be increased until the end of the game against Spain.

Staff have been decorating wards with flags and bunting in preparation for the momentous match, which is a first ever major final on foreign soil for the England men’s team.

The usual rules about the number of visitors for each patient will still apply during the extended visiting hours on Sunday. On the Trust’s adult inpatient wards, two visitors are permitted at a patient’s bedside at a time.
