Following the somber news that 14-year-old Javier has passed away, the young angel’s parents Dennis and Dorelle managed to raise €2,485 for Puttinu during his funeral. In times of grief and loss, the parents did not forget the organisation which helped them and many other families in similar situations. Javier was given the last goodbyes on 31st May in Mosta.

The parents encouraged people to donate to Puttinu Cares and the Malta Community Chest Fund Foundation instead of buying flowers. Javier suffered from a condition called Rhombencephalosynapsis, which results in parts of the brain to not develop during pregnancy complications.

With England’s opening Euro 2020 match against Croatia happening on Sunday, fans attending the event will be given the option to use COVID-19 vaccine passports. UEFA has confirmed that the ticket holders based in Britain can enter by providing either a negative PCR test or by showing proof of full vaccination with a 14 day lapse before the match. Those based elsewhere must provide proof of negative lateral flow test.

22,500 spectators are expected fr England’s first two games, first against Croatia then against Scotland at Wembley. The stadium will be operating at 25% capacity. Should the vaccine passport system prove successful, this event will pave way for bigger crowds when Wembley hosts matches later in the tournament.
