The quarter-finals at the World Cup were Norway's best-ever finish on the men's side - and celebrations are under way in the Norwegian capital, Oslo.

The national team is due to be received by King Harald at the palace on Monday evening, and then parade with fans at Slottsplassen. After that, the players will be driven around in an open bus along Karl Johans gate.

"It has been a fabulous summer. A fabulous journey that began with King Harald appearing in that selection video, and ended with us coming to the castle, meeting him and celebrating with the people," Norwegian Football Association chairwoman Lise Klaveness tells TV2, according to NTB.

Norway lost the quarter-final to England 2-1.
