England came away victorious after inflicting a 2-1 defeat on Denmark in extra time to seal the Three Lions' place in their first final of a major tournament since 1966.
A strike from Harry Kane, as he followed up his saved penalty effort, and an own goal courtesy of Simon Kjaer was enough to overcome Mikkel Damsgaard’s sublime freekick.
The historic occasion means England will face Italy at Wembley in the European Championship final on Sunday at 8pm, with potentially up to 90,000 allowed to see the game live in the stadium; not everyone will have that immense luxury.
Many fans will be watching in pubs up and down the country and with the temperature set to reach highs of 18 degrees we’ve compiled a list of some of the places you can watch the match outside in Bournemouth and Poole.
The George Tapps
Old Christchurch Road, BH1 1JZ

The venue, on the grounds of the Royal Exeter Hotel, boasts a large sun terrace and a 300sq m tent alongside a 112’ inch screen for the all-important clash.
Although they don't usually show football games outside they have been making an exception and bringing out the big guns whenever Gareth Southgate's side has been in action.
