In pictures: England fans arrive for Euro 2020 semi-final

Gareth Southgate's side will tread where no England team has before.

History beckons for England after they reached the European Championship final for the first time by beating 1992 champions Denmark 2-1 at Wembley on Wednesday night.

Anticipation was at fever pitch even before Gareth Southgate’s men walked out at Wembley, and a dramatic 120 minutes beneath the arch simply intensified the atmosphere as Harry Kane won it in extra-time, converting the rebound after Kasper Schmeichel had saved his penalty.

Here, the PA news agency takes a look at the best pictures in the hours before, during and after the semi-final.
