The semi-colon needs to be there.  See

"Note. In SGML, it is possible to eliminate the final ";" after a character
reference in some cases (e.g., at a line break or immediately before a tag). In
other circumstances it may not be eliminated (e.g., in the middle of a word). We
strongly suggest using the ";" in all cases to avoid problems with user agents
that require this character to be present."
