The Three Lions beat Serbia 1-0 in their opening Group C clash at Euro 2024 tonight.
And Gareth Southgate’s men had their loved ones cheering them on as they made a dream start to the tournament.

The Real Madrid midfielder, 20, had his younger brother Jobe, who plays for Sunderland, watching on alongside their parents.
And Arsenal attacker Saka’s partner Tolami Benson looked nervous as she fiddled with her hair in the build-up waiting for kick off.

Gallagher did get introduced to the action late on as England looked to hold on to their lead.
And they did have to survive some heavy pressure, although Kane almost doubled their lead as he hit the crossbar near the end.
But the one goal from man of the match Bellingham proved to be enough to secure the three points.
Now they can secure a place in the knockouts if they beat Denmark in their second group game on Thursday.
Bellingham told BBC afterwards: “I thought they are a very tough side. Very robust, strong and a big group of lads and it was important that we prepared well.
“The staff got it right. We prepared all week very well. We knew the roles we had to do. We try to keep to our own standards and try to do our own job.
“It’s important that we got off to a good start. Positive inside the camp and onto the next one.
