Airport renames terminal after England manager

Gatwick Airport has renamed one of its terminals after the England manager Gareth Southgate, who is from Crawley, five miles away, ahead of the Euro 2024 final.

The airport's South Terminal has now been temporarily named with signs visible above shops, saying Welcome to Southgate Terminal.

Good luck messages to the England team, as they play Spain in the final on Sunday, will also be displayed on check-in screens at the airport.

“All at London Gatwick wish Gareth Southgate and the England players the very best of luck for Sunday’s final," said Stewart Wingate, CEO of London Gatwick.

Southgate will lead England men's team to their first major football final on foreign soil.

Flights from the Gatwick to Berlin have increased in price dramatically over the last few days, as fans attempt to head to the match.

Some airlines have opted to put on additional flights from other UK airports to Berlin to help fans get to Germany as flights had sold out.

Some seats were being sold by airlines for £918 from Gatwick to Berlin, compared to £167 a week later.

Many supporters who have not already purchased a match ticket are unlikely to obtain one as the game is sold out on Uefa's website.

The match will be broadcast live on BBC 1 and match commentary will be live on BBC Sounds.

Kick off is at 20:00 BST.
