Outside the royal palace in Oslo, Norway’s Crown Prince Haakon joined a sea of thousands of fans seated on the ground for the football team’s trademark row after the national team secured their best placing at a World Cup. They will meet England in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Over 100,000 fans are estimated to have hit the streets of the capital, while thousands of others took part in jubilant celebrations in towns and cities across the country. One fan dressed in Norwegian colours was seen crowdsurfing in an inflatable boat.
