England fans were left devastated as the nation missed out on a place in the World Cup final.

The dream was crushed for supporters in Moscow and at home as Gareth Southgate’s men lost 2-1 to Croatia in the semi-final after extra time.

Millions tuned into the eagerly-anticipated match, with sorrowful scenes up and down the country after days of singing “It’s coming home”.

The Duke of Cambridge took to the official Kensington Palace Twitter account to speak of his pride in the team.

Ending the tweet with a W, he wrote: “I know how disappointed @england must feel right now but I couldn’t be more proud of this team and you should hold your heads high.

“You’ve had an incredible #WorldCup, made history, and gave us fans something to believe in.

“We know there is more to come from this @england team.”
