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.

England captain Leah Williamson says the Lionesses are targeting more silverware after telling fans at Tuesday’s Euros parade in London: “This story is not done yet”. Williamson and her Lionesses team-mates enjoyed an open-top bus procession along The Mall to celebrate their Euro 2025 triumph.

But if anyone still had doubts, those vanished when Wiegman danced on stage with Burna Boy and sang along to his song ‘For My Hand’ in front of 65,000 England fans. It was a remarkable sight - and almost fitting, given how scarcely believable England’s run to the Euro 2025 title had been.
