Watch the Lionesses’ triumphant homecoming

England’s Euro 2025-winning squad will enjoy a victory parade through the streets of central London this afternoon.

Sarina Wiegman and her players successfully defended their European title thanks to a penalty shoot-out win over Spain in Basel on Sunday evening.

The squad flew home from Switzerland yesterday and enjoyed a reception with Deputy Prime Minister Angela Raynor at Downing Street.

Today, they get the chance to celebrate with supporters with an open-top bus parade that culminates with a ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace at approximately 12:30.

Watch all the action here, as it happens…

When did England win the title?

England entered the final on Sunday, July 27 looking to avenge their 1-0 defeat to Spain in the 2023 World Cup final, but Montse Tome’s players had the better of the first half and went ahead through Mariona Caldentey’s header from former Manchester United defender Ona Batlle’s cross.

Reliable provider Chloe Kelly’s left-wing delivery afforded Arsenal’s Alessia Russo the chance to equalise with a looping header after the break. England held on for much of extra time, then stormed to victory in the shootout.

2022 player of the tournament Beth Mead’s opening penalty was stopped by Cata Coll, who also turned captain Leah Williamson’s attempt away, but Hannah Hampton saved from Caldentey and Ballon d’Or Feminin winner Aitana Bonmati before Salma Paralluelo shot wide.

That left it to Kelly – scorer of the 113th-minute winner in the previous final, against Germany – to fire in the final penalty.
