England's women have the support of the Duke of Cambridge as they bid to reach the World Cup semi-finals with victory over Canada this weekend.
England face the hosts at Vancouver's BC Place Stadium in front of an expected 60,000 crowd in a match which is to be televised on BBC One and kicks off at 00.30 BST on Sunday.
The Wembley Stadium arch will be lit red and white in support of Mark Sampson's squad, who also received words of encouragement from Prince William, the Football Association president.
"Having had the chance to meet the squad and having followed their progress in qualifying, I know they are determined to do their very best," said the Duke, who met the squad at St George's Park prior to their departure for Canada.
"And I believe their involvement will inspire more girls up and down the country to get involved in the game."
England have recorded three consecutive 2-1 victories in the tournament, including their first knockout win after the defeat of former world champions Norway.
FA chairman Greg Dyke attended England's opening game and may return should they advance and FA chief executive Martin Glenn will be at the semi-finals and final regardless of whether England qualify.
Until then, Dyke has sent his well wishes from afar.
He said: "I am delighted to see the England women's squad getting so much support. Everywhere I go people are talking about it.
"They have performed extremely well and I am sure they will give their all again when they take on Canada overnight on Saturday.
"To get to the semi-finals of the World Cup would be a remarkable achievement.
Midfielder Jill Scott believes England have enough options in their squad to keep Canada guessing until the last minute.
Sampson has happily shuffled his Lionesses throughout the tournament, using all 21 outfield players in the first four games.
That has given everyone a chance to stake their claim to face the hosts.
Scott insists everyone is ready and that the Canucks will have no way of knowing what personnel or system Sampson will deploy.
"I actually think we could field two teams of 11 in this tournament and they would both get to at least the quarters, that's how good I think this squad is," the Manchester City midfielder told TheFA.com.
"I know I can do a job for the team, just like any of the other 22 girls.
"I think we have proved in this tournament that we can play in a number of different ways and a number of different formations, and that's quite pleasing.
"Canada won't know what England team is going to show up on Saturday."
