Midfielder Jill Scott, an England player for the past 16 years and veteran of 10 tournaments: "I can't believe it! It's such a privilege to be a part of this. What a day! The younger players have been fantastic, playing with freedom. The celebrations are going to be big and I don't think I'm going to sleep this week!"

Just look at the contrast on the pitch!
England are dancing on the trophy presentation platform and slip-sliding through the glitter whereas Germany are walking round quietly, applauding their fans who have stayed in the stadium.
Germany are not used to losing European finals but after eight titles, there's a new name on the trophy - England's!

I loved to see after the final whistle so many players coming over to Lena Oberdorf to give her a hand and commiserations. They had some tough battles on the pitch and afterwards take care of each other like sports people. That’s what it’s all about.

The thing that comes shining through from every single one of these players during their interviews is just how much all of this means to them and how humble and grateful they are to their team-mates, staff and support.
Fantastic footballers and people.

Did you see how Beth England ran to Wiegman? She's not played a minute. It is about togetherness.
I'm so happy for all if them.

"I'm buzzing me head off!" screams Ella Toone on BBC One.
You'd never guess she was from Manchester.

Every single player played their part. Nikita Parris came on to do a job. The way teams play as a whole determines success. That’s what we’ve seen.

Germany are unbelievable, and the fact they weren't playing too well in before the tournament, then they get it together and lose their best player in the warm-up.
When you consider when we lost in 2009, we got hammered. We are in a different place now.

It's party time now at Wembley. Lucy Bronze is sliding about, Ellen White and Chloe Kelly are busting out some questionable moves, Sarina Wiegman has a knowing smile on her face like Mr Miyagi at the end of Karate Kid.

Up step the England players for their winners medals.
Uefa president Aleksander Ceferin hands over the main prize to Leah Williamson, who carries it to her team-mates and pauses for a moment to take it all in before all hell cuts loose.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2022 European champions.

Germany players trudge up to collect runners-up medals at a major tournament for the first time.
They contributed to a magnificent final here. Refused to lie down.

On his Arsenal players
Beth Mead has been incredible in these Euros. Leah Williamson hasn’t put a foot wrong. She’s so young. This is the first time starting games in a major tournament. As a captain she’s been a phenomenal leader.

The England players give Beth Mead a guard of honour as she goes up to collect the golden boot and player of the tournament. Not bad.

It's a hive of activity on the pitch as organisers assemble the presentation platform.
There are tears of joy among the England players who are hugging and kissing each other and their support staff.
And they run over to the crowd to join in singing Sweet Caroline as well.
The German team have been in a huddle, reflecting on what might have been.

The president of the FA, Prince William, plants the trophy on its plinth. Time to dish out some silverware.
