PICS: Fans delirious as England enter first ever Euro final

July 08, 2021 14:28 IST

England beat Denmark in extra time on Wednesday to enter the Euro 2020 final and their fans were delirious.

England fans knew no calm -- from Boxpark Craydon to Hackney Bridge -- as traffic came to a standstill at Piccadilly Circus in central London when fans blocked streets and climbed on telephone boxes.

Nothing was to deter them fans as they roared, cheered – not even riot police presence on the streets.

London police said they made 20 arrests “for a number of offences including common assault, public order and assault on police," Met Police said on Twitter.
