The nation responds: England 2 - 1 Denmark

How did you celebrate England reaching the final of Euro 2020?

A few drinks with friends?

Go into your local town/city centre and dance/sing the night away? 

Let's see some of the best social media posts and comments

What happened in London?

For those people who weren't lucky enough to be at Wembley but were in the same city, many went into the streets to celebrate. Claire, 28 from Reading, said: "Those scenes were amazing. Everyone was getting a little carried away but there was no harm, it's not often England reach a major final!"

Perhaps this tweet sums up what Claire and other were feeling?
