More violence at Euro 2016 as Germany and Ukraine fans clash

Confrontations between England and Russia fans on Saturday were followed by more tension in Lille, with chairs and bottles thrown by fans of the two sides

Euro 2016 has been marred by further scenes of violence among groups of supporters ahead of Germany's match with Ukraine at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Rival fans clashed in the centre of Lille, close to the Gare Flandres, where a number of supporters have been arriving in recent days.

Germany and Ukraine fans were seen fighting, throwing chairs and bottles near La Grande Place, an area of bars and restaurants which had earlier seen dozens of supporters - including some from Wales and England, whose teams meet in nearby Lens on Thursday - mixing in a peaceable atmosphere.
