France is on high terror alert as the European football championship kicks off.

Seven million supporters are expected in the country, which has been targeted by a number of terrorist attacks by fundamentalists.

Around 100-thousand Irish fans will travel to the games, and security will be tight, so do expect delays getting to games.

A series of union strikes will also make it difficult to reach matches in time - including by pilots and train drivers.

The tournament officially kicks off later, with hosts France taking on Romania.

Fans have been told to get to games three hours early - these England and Wales supporters in Paris have been telling us what they think about that.
