Late substitute Ollie Watkins sent the nation into delirium when he fired a stunning strike into the bottom left corner with just seconds remaining to send Gareth Southgate's men into Sunday's final against Spain in Berlin.
The striker had replaced captain Harry Kane, who had earlier equalised for England with a penalty in the first-half - cancelling out Xavi Simons' wonder strike which had given the Netherlands the lead inside seven minutes.
England's star-studded squad were supported in Dortmund by an army of WAGs and celebrities including Adele and Ed Sheeran as they reached their first ever Euros final on foreign soil.
Southgate's squad will now attempt to go one step further than Euro 2020, when they also reached the final but lost to Italy on penalties at Wembley.
Nervous England fans suffered early heartbreak when Simons opened the scoring with a thunderbolt shortly after kick-off. But their agony turned into euphoria when Kane equalised from the spot in the 18th minute.
With the game heading to extra-time again, Watkins - who had only been on the pitch nine minutes - clinched a historic winner in the 90th minute, prompting England's substitutes to run onto the pitch, as pints flew across pubs and fan zones at home.
Congrates to England
