If you live with a football fan, you probably already know that the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament starts tonight. With the British teams’ first matches taking place over the weekend, and the Queen’s 90th birthday celebrations going on all over the country, it’s (hopefully) going to be a weekend of festivities!
