England fans back home and even in Magaluf got into the Euros spirit as they wore replica shirts and raised pints of beer to cheer on the Three Lions against Slovakia in Germany.
Up to 3,000 supporters have descended on the Road to Victory fan zone in Manchester city centre at the Diecast venue.
While supporters wearing replica England away shirts from the 1990 World Cup were among the fans packed into the Boxpark in Wembley, London.
Meanwhile, hundreds of holidaymakers took a pause from their break in the Spanish sun as they sat on benches in Magaluf to cheer on Gareth Southgate's men.
The optimism of thousands of fans soon turned to shock as wide-mouthed supporters screamed in despair as Slovakia's Ivan Schranz opened the scoring in the 25th minute.
