The dramatic, last-gasp 2-1 win over Holland set up a mouthwatering Sunday night showdown with Spain and a chance to finally bring some football silverware home.
After a shaky passage through the group and knockout stages Germany, England finally found their feet, helped on by fans who have been in good voice throughout the tournament.
In the end, goals from Harry Kane and Ollie Watkins fired Gareth Southgate's side into their second successive Euro final.
It was pure delight for England, with substitute striker Watkins smashing home as the game entered stoppage time.
They are now 90 minutes from glory, with the squad poised to take a place in English footballing folklore alongside the World Cup-winning heroes of 1966.
Southgate's brave soldiers were bolstered by the arrival of some 60,000 boister ous but impeccably descended on ahead behaved fans, who Dortmund of the match 20,000 without tickets turning the city red, white and blue, and creating a cacophony of noise and a carnival atmosphere.
And England fans mixed happily with an orange army of up to 80,000 Dutch supporters.
Supporting England in the stadium were singers Adele and Ed Sheeran.
