Lionesses victory parade live: Fans sing ‘it’s coming home’ as Euro 2025 winners travel down Mall in open-top bus

Lionesses welcomed to Downing Street after Euro 2025 win

The Lionesses were cheered by a huge crowd as they celebrated their historic Euro 2025 win with a trophy parade through central London.

Thousands of fans lined The Mall, singing “Football’s coming home”, as the team travelled on two double-decker open-top buses towards Buckingham Palace, where they will finish with a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial.

Captain Leah Williamson lifted the silver trophy from the top deck of one bus, to raucous applause from the crowd. Lioness Alessia Russo said she was “on cloud nine” and described the team’s celebrations on The Mall as “a bit surreal”.

England defeated Spain in dramatic fashion after Chloe Kelly’s winning penalty secured back-to-back European Championships for Sarina Wiegman’s side. The England players returned to home soil as heroes on Monday after becoming the first England team in history to defend a major tournament title.

The squad were immediately taken to Downing Street, where St George's flags fluttered from the windows and railings, for a reception with deputy prime minister Angela Rayner in the garden of No 10.
