PRINCE William was among the fans celebrating England's early goal yesterday but there wasn't much majesty about the way supporters reacted at the final whistle.
There were some boos from Three Lions fans at the ground in Frankfurt because of the disappointing draw.
The city enjoyed a carnival atmosphere before and after the match but there were glum faces as supporters filed out of the stadium.
Construction worker Ricky Beck, 35, from Barnsley, South Yorks, said after attending the Euro 2024 game in Germany: "It was terrible."
IT worker Ross Williams, 38, also from Barnsley, said: "It was a tough watch."
And another IT worker, Mark Jones, 51, from Glastonbury in Somerset, said: "It was timid."
Terry O'Connell, 39, and his 17-year-old son Brandan flew from Perth in Australia to support England.
Terry, an electrician originally from Norton, near Middlesbrough, said: "It was a long journey but worth it despite the result.
"A win would have been great but it wasn't to be." Brandan said: "It's been great being in Frankfurt - a very special day."
Prince William, who turns 42 today, was among the 30,000 England fans including pop star Ed Sheeran, 33 - at the stadium.
England midfielder Jude Bellingham was cheered on by his younger brother Jobe, 18, and their mum Denise.

Granda Kev
\"GRANDA,\" my granddaughter ordered rather than asked with saucer eyes and irresistible smile, \"put on my dress\". Two initial points. Firstly, it was much too small for a 6ft bloke. Secondly, I'm not the gown sort of guy. Neither wisecrack dared pass my lips.

Things can only get Beto, Dave
IF David Moyes watched this tie, he might think again about making a return to Merseyside. The expected successor to Sean Dyche in the Goodison Park hot-seat will have an FA Cup fourth-round clash to contend with later this month. But this was hardly a performance to stir Blue blood just hours after Dyche departed.
