The atmosphere at Wembley for England v Scotland did not disappoint.

It was an historic occasion: England playing Scotland at an international tournament for the first time since Euro 1996. The venue: Wembley.

The match ended honours even and Scotland might have been happier with the performance on the night, while England are still in a strong position in the group. Either way, the fans of both home nations certainly added to the occasion.

Before the match, thousands of Scottish fans descended on London. The wet weather didn't dampen spirits and definitely gave things a bit of zip. We hope that young man is okay.

Looking forward to it like a trip to the dentist

Alan Shearer didn't miss an opportunity to invoke the last time that England and Scotland played one another at an international tournament.

At Euro 1996, Paul Gascoigne scored a sublime goal after flicking the ball over Colin Hendry and thus was born the infamous 'dentist's chair' celebration - a reference to a controversial night out for the England team involving a swivel chair and a bottle of vodka.

Where does one buy a shirt in this size?

Can someone with more pooch expertise than us please ID this dog? Surely that's not a Scottish Highland Terrier in an England shirt?

James Milner managed to articulate the feelings of lots of onlookers who might have felt split loyalties.

Very noble of her to get behind both teams.

This young lady had split allegiances. Gretna Green starts somewhere by the nose.

We're still reeling from the shock that Scott Brown is typically bald by choice and then we see he has a left foot this big!

No surprises there then

We're not sure anyone would have got good odds on this happening before the match.

It was a bit of a scrappy, edgy one in the end, but you probably couldn't call the game boring.
