Captain Harry Kane earlier led the players through their warm-ups after the England team coach was cheered all the way from the hotel to Wembley.
The party atmosphere descended into chaos just minutes before kick-off as dozens breached a security perimeter to rush up the stairs to the stands before stunned security guards.
Tens of thousands more, many without tickets, have been crowding around the arena to soak up the atmosphere since this morning, letting off flares, clambering onto buses and hurling drinks through the air.

Across the country, millions are cramming into sold-out pub gardens, Sweet Caroline is blaring from sound systems and gallons of beer are being poured into glasses as the nation dreams of victory.
An estimated 35 million people will be tuning in to watch the match, while more than £3 billion will be lavished on bets, drinks and food.
