The flag removals took place on Tuesday, July 14, just one day before the Three Lions face the reigning world champions in what promises to be a historic match. The incident was captured on doorbell camera footage showing two council workers dressed in shorts and high-visibility vests arriving at an estate behind King’s Street.
