England have retained the European Championship after the Lioness' victory over Spain last week - but a star of the 2022 squad was soon sent back to reality

Another day, another moment for these Lionesses that would have been scarcely imaginable for their forebearers. The back-to-back champions of Europe had won their crown on foreign soil -- the first England senior team ever to achieve such a feat -- and so perhaps could have been forgiven for underestimating the scale of affection for them back home.

After becoming the first England team to win a major tournament on foreign soil, the Lionesses will celebrate their Women's Euro 2025 victory with an open-top bus parade in central London and a trip to Downing Street.
