ENGLAND stars have been getting over their Euro 2024 heartache by partying or getting engaged.
The heroic Three Lions squad were beaten 2-1 by Spain to be left runners-up for the second Euros in a row.
Several of the squad took their mind of things by taking a beach break while others stayed back.
Summer of love
Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins became a national hero after his late winner against Holland sent England into the final.
His partner Ellie Alderson was there to support him in Germany – and looks like she will be for years to come.
That is because the couple announced their engagement in Lake Como in Italy.

The two have been in a relationship since 2018 and live together in Birmingham.
They were later pictured on a day out in Milan off the back of their engagement news.
But they were not the only pair celebrating the same good news.

The Sun revealed how Declan Rice and Ivan Toney – who struck up a friendship inside the Euros camp – danced the night away at Wayne Lineker’s O Club.
Luke Shaw – who started only in the final – also took a trip to Ibiza and bumped into Arsenal’s Rice after posing with DJ Fisher.
Club bosses from the Premier League allowed players from the Euros an extended break ahead of the upcoming season.
But not all opted to take it.
Cole Palmer – who briefly levelled for England in the final – won praise of fans online after it was revealed he was straight back into training.
