The government has confirmed they are no longer considering the prospect of an additional bank holiday to celebrate England's performance in Euro 2020.
The decision comes after England's tournament adventure ended in penalty heartbreak as Italy beat them 3-2 in the shootout of last night's showpiece final - as MirrorOnline reports.
Boris Johnson's official spokesman said that the Prime Minister is still in talks with the FA to find a suitable way to honour the Three Lions reaching their first final in a major competition for 55 years, but confirmed that any plans will not involve an extra bank holiday.

He said: “We’ll be talking to the FA to identify a suitable way for the Prime Minister to thank the players and coaching staff for their efforts.
“But a bank holiday is not something that is being considered.”
Downing Street also slammed the ticketless England fans who caused the disruptive scenes at Wembley and Trafalgar Square.
The Prime Minister's official spokesman added: "“Those scenes were unacceptable and we condemn violence, anti-social behaviour and abuse in the strongest possible terms.”
Asked whether the level of policing was adequate, the spokesman confirmed that the Prime Minister retains confidence in Metropolitan Police Commissioner Cressida Dick, but he also admits there is room for improvement.
He said: “As with all major policing operations there will be lessons to be learned.”
