"That was something else... we go again on the World Cup."

Meanwhile, Adele posted a picture of herself in an England top, adding: "You did us so proud! You brought our game home and brought us all together.”

David Baddiel, whose classic Three Lions song with Frank Skinner and The Lightning Seeds has become the unofficial anthem of the England team, tweeted this morning (12 July): "Woken up with my own song in my head sounding this morning like a heckle.

"Can one put down hecklers in one’s own head? I suppose that’s a bit the battle of life."

"It’s all good Bruv I love you kid we go and smash the World Cup.”

Comedian Stephen Fry summed up the mood of the nation when he tweeted: "Alright, football gods, I’ll wait another 55 years then. But I warn you, unless biotech comes up with something impressive, I’ll fairly certainly be dead … Bah, grr, poo and bother.”

Prince William, who attended the game at Wembley Stadium with his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge and their seven-year-old son Prince George - admitted it was "heartbreaking" to see the team lose 3-2 on penalties but sent a positive message to Gareth Southgate's side after congratulating the winners.

He wrote on Instagram: "Heartbreaking. Congratulations @Azzurri on a great victory.

"@England, you’ve all come so far, but sadly this time it wasn’t our day. You can all hold your heads high, and be so proud of yourselves — I know there’s more to come."
