Hampton wore her England shirt during the “Grandma” tournament and said he was one of her biggest supporters on her trip.
Hampton posted on Instagram: “Dear Grandpa. They left two days before the greatest tournament of my life. It still doesn’t feel real.
“I always thought when I was calling Nannie, I would hear her voice again – one of her jokes or one of these little comments that would make you who somehow said without saying much.
“You were one of my biggest supporters. You believed in me before I even knew what this trip would look like.
