In Pictures: Big clean-up begins after football fans head home

A big clean-up is under way across England after football fans left streets of debris in their wake.

England fans who had cheered and agonised through 90 minutes and extra time were distraught after Italy claimed victory in the Euro 2020 final.

The cleaning effort continued into the daylight hours, with tonnes of rubbish and broken glass removed.

The late-night finish to the match was reflected in quieter than usual streets and motorways around the country.
