PUB punters went wild as England beat Denmark to make the final of Euro 2020 on Wednesday night.
The Three Lions qualified for their first final in a major tournament since 1996 when Harry Kane slotted home a penalty rebound in extra time in front of 60,000 fans at Wembley Stadium.
It was a night of mixed emotions for home fans, after Denmark took an unlikely lead only to concede an own goal equaliser 10 minutes later.
Pubs across north Essex were packed for the big game, which was watched on TV by more than 20 million people.
Here is a video of celebrations at the Alma pub in Copford:
Landlord David Brady said the pub was packed on Wednesday evening with about 120 people in to watch the game.
Celebrations in Colchester town centre spilled out on the High Street and Head Street.
