As the dust settles after England's defeat in the Euro 2020 final, there was one man who was closer than almost anyone to the squad as he captured their journey through the tournament.
Eddie Keogh spent nearly six weeks in a bubble with Gareth Southgate and his players during the competition in his role as the Three Lions' official photographer.
With the England team reaching their first major final in 55 years, Eddie was pitch-side to record Southgate's redemption against Germany and photographed Bukayo Saka's teammates rally around him after his heart-breaking penalty miss.
But he also captured moments you may not have seen as he was granted behind-the-scenes access to the England camp.
Here, the photographer has chosen 12 of his favourite images from his time covering England at the Euros and tells Sky News the story behind each one.
England overcome Germany hoodoo
Having not beaten Germany in a knock-out match at a major tournament since 1966, England's 2-0 victory in their last-16 clash was a huge boost for the players.
And Eddie's photograph of Harry Maguire leading the celebrations on the pitch after Harry Kane's goal is the photographer's favourite image from the tournament.
"They dropped right in front of me and all piled on top of Harry Kane," Eddie says.
"As they finished the celebration, Harry Maguire emerged from this mass of players and screamed at the crowd.
"I'd probably taken a hundred images of that scenario – but sometimes there's just one image that stands out and everything falls into place.
"That for me was a beautiful image.
"To beat Germany was probably the best feeling I'd had for a long time in football. It was a real joy."
Southgate's redemption at Wembley
As the final whistle blew at the end of England's match with Germany, there was only one man whose reaction Eddie wanted to capture.
England manager Southgate was left devastated after missing a penalty against Germany in the semi-final of Euro 96, knocking the Three Lions out of the tournament.
This time, however, as England emerged victorious over their old rivals, Southgate's joy - and relief - was clear as he raised his fists up and gazed at the sky.
"I knew how much that game meant to him," Eddie says.
"At the final whistle, I figured there might be something from him.
"It was a key moment.
"This was another ghost put to bed – to beat Germany at Wembley was special to him."
And on Southgate, Eddie says: "I'm not sure there's been a better England manager really, not just as a football man.
"Gareth is a decent man with great values of humility and respect. One of the great things he does is he passes that to the players as well.
"He's not just teaching them about football, he's teaching these young men – because they are young men – about other values in life."
Sterling celebrates with son
One of the most heart-warming images after England's victory over Germany was the sight of Raheem Sterling - arguably the team's best player during Euro 2020 - celebrating with his son Thiago.
Eddie says: "I know Raheem and I'd spotted him going over towards to the crowd.
"All photographers try to anticipate what the next move might be.
"A friend of his brought his young son down and he was hugging his son.
"I chose an opportune moment to say 'Hi' and he just turned around and gave us a lovely smile, and his son gave us the same pose.
"He had a fantastic tournament. He's so happy with England at the moment."
Grealish's respect for Henderson
Away from the pitch, Eddie was able to record moments with the England squad that fans would otherwise not see.
Before the tournament, as the players donned suits for their official team photograph, fan favourite Jack Grealish asked teammate Jordan Henderson for help fixing his tie.
"That's one of the lovely things of being behind the scenes is you get to see these moments," Eddie says.
"I just noticed that Grealish was trying to do his tie and I think he might have shouted out to Jordan: 'Do me a favour, can you sort this out?'
"The way Jack is looking at him as well, you can just see the respect he has for Jordan.
"It's a lovely moment – it's almost like father and son."
Three Lions 'roar' after Henderson's goal
As England ran riot on the pitch against Ukraine in the quarter-finals, Henderson's first goal in his 62nd international game to make it 4-0 produced a "roaring" celebration from the players.
"I like this image because it's like the Three Lions, the way they're roaring," Eddie says.
"Again that image stood out as a lovely moment.
"It was his first goal for England and he'd been trying to score for England for a long, long time.
"He's a leader and that's the beauty of the squad, there are several leaders."
Players take to the pool on unicorn floats
There's always immense pressure on England at major tournaments, but you couldn't tell at Euro 2020 when the players took to the pool on unicorn floats!
Eddie took this image of Bukayo Saka at England's training camp, St George's Park, after their quarter-final victory against Ukraine.
"We'd got back from Rome at 5am," he says.
"The players had a lie-in until midday and this was taken in the afternoon.
"After a big game, it's important for the guys to do recovery.
"It's really good to get them into the water… and this is basically a way to encourage them into the pool.
"They had unicorns, little basketball games in the water and volleyball.
"They’re the same unicorns they used at the World Cup in Russia!"
Hang time! Basketball skills on show
Eddie, who has been covering the England football team since 1984, says the Euro 2020 squad had the "best team spirit" he'd seen with the national team.
And the players' favourite team-bonding activity during their downtime at St George's Park was playing basketball.
"The basketball was a lovely part of it," Eddie says.
"It was probably the most popular thing to do outside of training.
"It was in the reception of the Hilton Hotel at St George's Park – they'd put a proper basketball court in there.
"Kalvin Phillips was probably the best basketball player.
"With this photo, I got nice and low and as Mount jumped, it made him look like he's flying through the air."
'Unsung heroes' hold Saka aloft
"This was taken after the semi-final win. That was another fantastic night," Eddie says.
"[Tyrone] Mings and [Conor] Coady were really good friends during the tournament and Saka is such a popular guy with everyone. Everyone loves the player, he's such a popular young lad. He's always up for a bit of fun.
"You have to four sets of eyes when it's like this because there's stuff happening everywhere.
"I was just lucky because I spotted them picking him up and ran over. They spotted me and Conor's giving me a big smile.
"I'm old enough to be their father… but they are genuinely just really lovely lads and they're all driven to do their best for England."
Eddie says the likes of Mings and Coady - who do not play regularly for the England first team - were the "unsung heroes" at Euro 2020.
"I have the utmost respect for the likes of Mings and Coady," he says.
"These guys to me are the unsung heroes because they work as hard as anyone and the team needs these guys to test them in training."
The emergence of 'The Yorkshire Pirlo'
Kalvin Phillips hadn't appeared regularly for England before Euro 2020 but emerged as a key player at the tournament, starting every game in the heart of the midfield.
Eddie captured this image of the Leeds player after England's semi-final victory as he wrapped a St George's flag around him - with a reference to his nickname after being compared to Italy's former midfield maestro Andrea Pirlo.
"He'd been talking to his family in the crowd... I followed him as he was walking back to the dressing room," Eddie says.
"It's nice to see the words 'The Yorkshire Pirlo' on the flag as well because that's his nickname now.
"He's really emerged as a talent. No one thought he would start every game."
Southgate's extra-time team talk
With the Euro 2020 final on a knife edge with England and Italy tied at 1-1 in extra-time, Southgate gave a team talk to the players by the pitch at half-time.
Eddie found himself right next to the squad as they huddled together beside the touchline.
"I had to do what we call a 'Hail Mary' where I lifted my camera up in the air and pre-focus," he says.
"It's never an easy picture to take because there are so many heads in the way but I managed to get a couple of frames of Gareth talking.
"You won't see that image anywhere else, no one else got that image.
"There was too much noise to hear what he saying. To be honest I was concentrating on getting the image."
Pickford save that almost made him a hero
With the Euros final going to a dreaded penalty shootout, England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford saved two spot-kicks - including this one from Italy's Jorginho.
As someone who has covered England at nine World Cups previously, Eddie says "this is pretty much as good as it gets as a penalty save picture".
"It's perfect. He's off the ground, he's diving," Eddie says.
"It was an incredible save. He literally just got his fingers to it.
"This is a split second.
"If England had won, this image would have been splashed all over the internet and the newspapers and everywhere.
"Had we scored a couple more penalties, Pickford would have been the hero and that would have been the picture."
Saka consoled by teammates
After Saka missed the decisive penalty in the final, Eddie captured this image as the 19-year-old's teammates rushed to support him.
"It's an emotional moment with Kalvin consoling him and Luke Shaw about to hug him," Eddie says. "It shows the bond the players have.
"As soon as it happened, they ran to him to console him and didn't want to leave him on his own.
"It's an important part of the story. We show the good times and sometimes we have to show the not-so-nice times.
"I was absolutely gutted but my job is to cover this tournament photographically, so I have to cover everything to tell the whole story.
"Bukayo's a lovely lad. He will get over it. He's a real talent, as he's shown in the previous weeks.
"Gareth chose him to take a penalty and he had the balls to take it so fair play to him."
