England fans flooded the streets of central London in the early hours of this morning after the Three Lions booked their place in the World Cup semi-finals with a dramatic victory over Norway.
Wild celebrations erupted across the capital as thousands of supporters poured into the West End, bringing parts of Regent Street to a standstill.
Footage shared online shows England fans pouring into the streets, scaling traffic lights, blocking roads and dancing shoulder-to-shoulder as they brought traffic to a standstill.
In one video, police officers can be seen pushing through the crowd while repeatedly shouting at football fans to "move back" in an attempt to restore order.
Chants of "It's coming home" could be heard as beers were launched skyward and a sea of red-and-white shirts bounced in unison. `
Car horns blasted as some fans set off fireworks as they paraded through the streets.

Jude Bellingham proved England's match-winner, launching the Three Lions into the last four, where they will face Argentina on Wednesday.
Norway struck first in the 36th minute when Andreas Schjelderup's looping, mishit cross drifted over the goalkeeper and into the far top corner.

But Bellingham hauled his side level deep into first-half stoppage time, weaving past two defenders before sliding Anthony Gordon's pass into the net.
Then, just three minutes into extra time, the Real Madrid star reacted quickest after Morgan Rogers' shot was spilled by goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, pouncing on the rebound to complete England's comeback.
