Well looked who showed up at Wembley 🙂 Damian, his son Gulliver, and pals attended England v Denmark, the second of two semi-finals, at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday, July 7, 2021. England beat Denmark 2-1 to seal a place in the final of the men’s European championships for the first time. Damian even sported his Soccer Aid shirt in solidarity with England.
With 60,000 fans inside Wembley, it took an extra-time winner from Harry Kane to secure a Three Lions victory. Now England has to focus on Italy.

Today, Sunday, 4 July 2021, Lord Mayor’s Appeal held the charitable Twenty20 cricket match on the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company venue, with Damian’s brother William Russell serving as captain for his team, The Lord Mayor XI versus Damian serving as Captain for his team, The Bobby Axelrod XI. And it looks like Damian’s other brother Gareth Lewis played on the Bobby Axelrod XI team as well!
The winning team was The Bobby Axelrod XI, but really both teams win because the match was for charity! The Lord Mayor’s Appeal organization aims to find solutions to the most pressing societal issues in London and beyond with the strategy of working on four key pillars to create a City that is inclusive, healthy, skilled and fair.
