POLICE have confirmed no arrests were made after hundreds of fans gathered in Bournemouth Square to celebrate England’s historic win in the semi-finals of the Euro 2020.

Fans dispersed from the town centre by midnight and were all “very jovial” and in “good spirits’ following Harry Kane’s decisive strike in extra time against Denmark at Wembley.

The memorable night saw Gareth Southgate’s squad secure their place in the final of Euros 2020 against Italy on Sunday.

The 2-1 victory means the Three Lions are now just 90 minutes away from securing the trophy, 55 years on from the nation's only major tournament silverware to date when Sir Alf Ramsey's side won the World Cup.

Almost 24 million people tuned in to watch England secure a place in the Euro 2020 final, making it the most watched match of the tournament so far, ITV said.

England had to come from behind to beat Denmark after Jordan Pickford conceded his first goal of the competition.

Simon Kjaer’s own goal, under pressure from Raheem Sterling, saw them level before captain Kane secured victory, after keeper Kasper Schmeichel saved his initial penalty.

Following the result, hundreds of fans flooded the streets and gathered in Bournemouth Square to celebrate the victory.

Everyone was in high spirits with music, singing, chanting and even red flares being let off in a colourful and vibrant spectacle of support for the national team. Police officers were in attendance, ensuring revellers enjoyed their celebrations safely.

A Dorset Police spokesperson said: “Pre-match we undertook a number of licensing visits across the force area to make sure all was in hand, which it was.

“We had additional officers and support on the ground and as expected, the atmosphere was one of celebration following England’s win over Denmark.

“The Square in Bournemouth post-match was busy and crowds did congregate; officers remained in attendance to ensure public safety.

“The atmosphere was very jovial with all in good spirits. Crowds dispersed just after midnight and no arrests were made.”

More than 100,000 people have signed a petition calling for Monday to be designated a bank holiday if England beat Italy in Sunday’s final.Downing Street has said it will set out any celebrations such as a victory parade for the England team “in due course”.
