One supporter, Marc Ghossein, told the Press Association (PA) news agency: “It’s an amazing feeling. We have been waiting for this for 25 years now.

“We’re almost at the semi-final, it’s coming home. England is going to win this year.”

Mo Mason-Jones, 24, a visual merchandiser, travelled down to London from Newcastle with her mother, Ellie Bond, 55, a doctor who works in a hospice, to watch the game.

Dr Bond said: “When England scored we were so elated, we were hugging, it was so exciting. Everyone was just screaming, shouting and jumping and wanting to hug each other but we’re all in our bubbles. We’re just so thrilled. It’s been such a strong start for England.

“We came down specially to watch the match.”

Ms Mason-Jones added: “The atmosphere has been incredible with all the singing. It’s coming home. We managed to get tickets but my dad and my brother didn’t make it, so they’re at home watching it on TV and we’re here. We can’t believe it.

“My mum was really worried about all the Covid things but being here it’s been so well done and it’s so well organised.”
