Nation parties after Pharaohs win
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptian football fans have taken to the streets after Egypt's victory in the Africa Cup of Nations football tournament.
The Pharaohs beat Cameroon in Accra, the Ghanaian capital, to retain the cup they won on home soil two years ago.
Sunday's 1-0 victory means Egypt have now won the cup a record sixth time.
Within seconds of the final whistle being blown, the Egyptian capital erupted into a cacophony of noise and a blur of light, our correspondent said.
Tour boats on the Nile sounded their horns in time to the chants of crowds pouring across bridges spanning Africa's longest river.
Fireworks lit up Cairo's night sky as jubilant fans climbed atop buses and cars, dancing and beating drums.
In Giza, the massive eight-lane Arab League street was brought to a standstill as flag-waving crowds celebrated the Pharaohs' historic victory.
With people driving around and around roundabouts honking their car horns, some policemen joined in the festivities, the BBC's Ian Pannell reported from Cairo.
"I feel very happy and I'm going to party all night to celebrate," 19-year-old Cairo resident Mohammed Saeed told the AP news agency, his face painted in the national colours of red, white and black.
In the football-loving nation of 80m people, the celebrations are likely to continue for days to come, our correspondent adds.
'Disappointment'
But in the Cameroon capital, Yaounde, the trumpeting and whistle-blowing that had lasted during the match died down at the final whistle, reports the BBC's Randy Jo Sa'ah.
"It's a terrible disappointment," one fan said.
But he said the team had done well to reach the final and said he would go to the airport to welcome the players home.
"The way we started this competition, I didn't expect we could reach this level."

The best organised team won the tournament imo and it is nice to see that the manager is from that particular country.
I thought Shehata was a fabulous player in the 80s and has proved he knows what he is doing as a manager as well.
I am not sure if it is true but someone told em that majority of the Egypt players play in their own league, if true then thats magnificent.
Congratulations to Egypt as they had some of the best players of the tournament not least the goal keeper, who was the best in the tournament

denco nearly the entire team plays dometially except for:
zidane plays for hamburg
and ahmed hassan plays for anderlect apart from these 3 the entire team is domestic.
thats true broint:

thats true bro
int:
I knew about Zidan being at hamburg but its excellent that these guys are domestic players and to win a tournament as big as that with 95% of your team being in Egypt is a testament of very good management and it shows that Africa can produce their own and do not have to rely on second rate European managers that have failed in Europe and trying to exploit.
I hear Otto pfister is about 71 years old, a german that has never managed in Germany.
Most of the countries in this tournament came with foreign managers, that have managed other African countries.
World cup hosts South Africa appointed Carlos Alberto whose last job was to manage Azerbaijan badly.
Why they think their ex players would not do as good if not better jobs is just unbelievable.
Well done Shehata and congratulations again to Egypt.

i guess u misunderstood me bozman!! there is no way on earth he will come close to buffon standard not a chance . for several reasons. i was referring to the fact that he was trained by a coach who was offered a chance to watch how super man trained not more or less ( the training technique). he is def th ebst in africa but buffon is the best in the world, a big big difference.
as for shagging angelina well u might call me wierd or even as vlatko would say a complete pedrecana but i dont think she is that hot to deserve all the shagging energy
god i cant stand her honestly.
