ENGLAND fans celebrated peacefully into the early hours in Nuremberg.

They filled the squares and streets of the southern German city after the nail-biting victory over Trinidad and Tobago.

The celebrations passed off peacefully with no sign of disorder among the tens of thousands of supporters.

The victory guarantees a place in the knock-out stages of the competition and the England captain promised there were better performances to come.

Prime Minister Tony Blair watched the England game in the British delegation room at the EU summit in Brussels.

The victory, though hard-earned, sent thousands of England fans into raptures as they watched the late goals on big screens set up in the pretty squares of Nuremberg.
