Thousands of fans have joined the triumphant England squad in London as the champions continue their Euro 2025 celebrations.

The Lionesses held an open-top bus parade along The Mall after becoming back-to-back European champions with a dramatic win over Spain on Sunday.

Fans lined the route before gathering around a stage in front of the Queen Victoria Memorial outside Buckingham Palace.

"I've been crying all the way down The Mall," said captain Leah Williamson.

"This is unbelievable, probably one of the best things we've been a part of."

Chloe Kelly, who scored England's winning goal at 2022 and the decisive penalty in Sunday's shoot-out, said: "Pressure, what pressure?"

The 27-year-old Arsenal forward then used an expletive to describe just how special the team's support has been at home and at the Euros in Switzerland.

She added: "[It is] so good to stand side by side with every single one of these girls throughout the whole tournament, and the staff that you don't see behind the scenes. It's incredible."

There was a surprise for England coach Sarina Wiegman as her favourite singer Burna Boy joined the squad on stage to sing his hit For My Hand.

Heather Small then sang Proud, which became a tournament anthem for the Lionesses, who played it in their dressing room before and after games in Switzerland.
