Prince William joined England football fans in a south-west London pub to watch the Euro 2020 qualifier against the Czech Republic on Friday night .

The Duke of Cambridge - who has been the President of the Football Association since 2006 - was accompanied by Chelsea manager Frank Lampard as they chatted to fans who have been supported by the Mind and CALM charities.

The visit to the Prince Albert pub in Battersea is part of the Heads Up campaign, which tackles mental health issues among football supporters and aims to get fans talking more and more about any issues they may be facing.

Each of the England fans present as part of the event was accompanied by a figure who has supported them through difficult times, as they discussed their experiences and hopes for the future with the Duke and Lampard, the former England midfielder.

At the launch of the Heads Up initiative in August, William said: "This year, the FA and Heads Together have joined forces to launch Heads Up, showing the world of football that our mental health is just as important as our physical health, and that we all need to take care of our everyday mental fitness, and provide support to one another when we face setbacks, so we can be match fit for whatever lies ahead."

William - who is a keen Aston Villa fan - was spotted at Norwich City's Carrow Road last weekend, when he took wife Kate and their two eldest children Prince George and Princess Charlotte to the Canaries' Premier League clash against the Villans.

The day turned into a memorable one for the Cambridges, with Villa winning 5-1 and George, six, spotted celebrating in the stands .
