England's players have left their Euro 2016 training base in Chantilly after being knocked out of the tournament by Iceland.

The England squad are on their way home after their humiliating exit from Euro 2016.

England suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Iceland on Monday night to bow out of the tournament in the last 16.

It was a result - already being labelled as the worst in England's history - that cost Roy Hodgson his job, the coach resigning immediately after the game.

The players trooped dejectedly out of their luxury hotel on the French Riviera on Tuesday morning, and headed back to their training base at Chantilly near Paris. They then flew back to Luton airport on Tuesday afternoon.

Back on home soil England's players will find the newspaper headlines have not spared them.

England fans are facing problems getting back home as hundreds of flights have been cancelled due to air traffic controllers striking in France.

Easyjet, Ryanair and British Airways flights are affected to and from France - some are delayed, others cancelled. Easyjet has so far had to cancel 144 flights and Ryanair 56.
