England supporters

Saturday evening, about 6 o’clock, a small boy almost ran into me full pelt as I was going into & he was coming out of the bus station. A gorgeous little boy, black hair, brown skin, big black eyes & long eyelashes. No more than three years old. Wearing an England football shirt, the rather elegant one in dark blue, not the garish white or scarlet.

His mother & another woman followed him round the corner. Both were dressed in full burqa plus niqab.

I have seen a small number of cars flying a similar dark blue England flag with a small red & white Three Lions badge in the corner. Is this official merchandise or a private enterprise solution for those who, for purely aesthetic or more complicated reasons, prefer not to flaunt the flag of St George.
