The north Wales town of Bala has temporarily changed its name to Bale to honour Wales striker Gareth Bale during the Euro 2016 championships.
All four main signs to the Gwynedd town have been altered to coincide with the group stage match against England. The signs will remain in place for the duration of Wales' time in the competition.
Local councillor Dilwyn Morgan said he was "100% behind the move" and described it as a great way to honour Gareth Bale and show support for the Welsh squad. He added that the change should put 'Bale' on the international map.

Mari Williams, editor of local newspaper Y Cyfnod, said the gesture demonstrates the lengths fans will go to in order to support the squad.
