The Lionesses have been celebrating their Euro 2025 win with an open-top bus procession in central London, alongside thousands of fans.

Some people had travelled long distances to be there, including from Durham in the north-east of England to Bristol in the south-west.

One family told BBC Sport they got up at 5:00 AM to make sure they were part of the celebrations, because they saw this as a big moment in history.

England star Lucy Bronze said, "It's just amazing. This moment is unbelievable... I've never seen anything like it."
