Even though he's not playing, Wembley Stadium will be a shrine dedicated to Wayne Rooney.

England's captain will be presented with a commemorative golden boot from the man whose record he beat, Sir Bobby Charlton, while supporters in the crowd pass along a massive flag throughout the stadium.

TwitterUK released an image of the flag, featuring a celebratory Rooney with the St. George's cross and hundreds of messages from fans celebrating his goal against Switzerland.
