The FA’s director of women’s football, Baroness Sue Campbell, says England's win will make a "phenomenal difference".

"I think it'll really take it to another level. But I think what happened yesterday was much broader than football.

“There are still places where people think girls wouldn’t be playing football and I hope yesterday demonstrated that’s a very old fashioned and out-of-date point of view."

She says huge investment is going into building more facilities for girls to get involved at school and club level "but it’s important that when they are built, girls are getting equal access and time on those facilities.

"We’re already in 12,000 schools, working on getting football embedded into the curriculum, lunchtime programmes and activity and after-school."

She says the FA's ambition is to be in 75% of all schools by 2024, adding "hopefully the demand will now come from the youngsters themselves and their parents who will be saying: ‘Why can’t my daughter play this game?’”

Emily Drakeley, who co-founded the Her Game Too campaign against sexism in the sport, said the win was "the biggest thing that could ever happen" to the game.

"This is the turning point for women being respected in football. We had some respect before to a level, but now the nation has really stood up and they've listened to us," adds Emily from Tamworth.

Interest in the women's game was going to "explode onto a different level," following the success of the Lionesses, according to Liz Hobson, goalkeeper for Stoke City Women.

She said her team had stopped to watch the game at a pub near York following an away match in Newcastle.

It was "amazing" to experience the victory as a team, she said.

There was a lot of men also watching the game which is "something you wouldn't normally see. I really think the Euros has changed the perception of women's football."

Laura Nuttall, 22, who has terminal brain cancer, saw the Lionesses win the Euro 2022 final.

Stacey Copeland, 2018 Commonwealth champion boxer and former England Under-18s footballer, has shared her joy at the Lionesses’ triumph.

“I hope this feeling lasts as long as possible. I took time off work unpaid when I played for England,” she told BBC Radio Manchester.

“When I look back at that England picture of me there was a couple of [colleagues] that went onto do coaching and punditry, but the majority are doing ordinary everyday jobs now, which is fine, but what we’re forgetting is that generation had full-time jobs.”

“We were teaching assistants and people who worked at the post office, and supermarkets, who happened to play football. Now the difference is they’re full-time athletes and everything that goes with it, and that’s where the investment is massive,” said Copeland, who played for Doncaster Belles and Tranmere Rovers, and also reached an FA Cup Final.

She said she believed England’s victory will help create a new generation of football fans.

“The fact that loads of little kids – particularly little girls of course – were [there] with face paint, with their England kits on, with those players’ names on their back, cheering and singing and having the best early moments and memories of football and sports for a women’s game. That is just unreal.”

There are 7,000 fans in for this party in Trafalgar Square to welcome the European champions. Afterwards the media will have a chance to speak to some of the players for their reaction on what is going to be a special few hours.

A bus has been named after England's Euro 2022-winning goalkeeper Mary Earps.

Transport company Trentbarton has marked the team's success by naming one of its vehicles after the player.

The mainline bus will serve West Bridgford in Nottinghamshire, where Earps grew up.

England beat Germany 2-1 at Wembley on Sunday, scoring in extra-time to win their first international tournament.

Not long now until Sarina Wiegman and her Lionesses appear at Trafalgar Square. Queues started forming at 7am and it is now heaving. Wiegman is expected to address the crowd.

England

England coach Sarina Wiegman has already been asked about last night's celebrations.

She said: "(It was) crazy - lots of music, lots of dancing. English people can drink!

"A little bit too much alcohol, I think. But that's OK. We enjoyed it. When you have these accomplishments, it's really good to have a party."

England

Goalkeeper Mary Earps has been asked about dancing on the table as England players gatecrashed Sarina Wiegman's post-match news conference.

"I saw my moment, I saw my opportunity, I took it," she said.

"I felt like it was the perfect moment to get on a table. If you can't get on a table after you're the European champions, when can you?"

Quite!!

The bus will serve Mary Earps' home town of West Bridgford.

A train provider has honoured the "magnificent" win by the Lionesses, with a tribute on the side of a train.

Great Western Railway's human resources director Ruth Busby was "overjoyed" by the result and said the Lionesses are "truly worthy of recognition for bringing football home in such brilliant style".

"They have captured the hearts of the nation with their performances over the past month [and] I'm delighted we are celebrating their Euro 2022 triumph on one of our intercity express trains.

The train will be at Bristol Temple Meads at lunchtime.

Spare a thought for this man. He is dressed in a full Lion costume and it’s absolutely boiling. A few moments ago he was posing for pictures, now he’s sat down on the steps at the back with one part of the costume laid next to him abandoned. Fair play for the effort.

Lauren Allcoat, who plays for Droitwich Spa Ladies, says she had dreamt of watching women's football on this scale "since I was a little girl, trying to find my own way in a sport in which girls were not accepted."

Lauren adds: "Always having to play in the boys team and being told 'girls can’t play football'. To all the doubters, just look at us now!"

Among those celebrating the Lionesses' historic Euro 2022 win is Carolyn Kent.

Carolyn, who had to move to the US in 2000 for six years to play semi-professional football, says England's win has been "pretty emotional".

She says: "Yesterday I managed to meet up with some team-mates that I hadn't seen for 20 years, and to see England do so well and a full stadium at Wembley supporting them... yeah, it was emotional."

"We both kind of reminisced on the fact that we've broke down some barriers and kind of cleared the way so that younger kids don't have to."

As a child, Carolyn says she "didn't have the option" to play football full-time here and was "made to play other sports in PE" such as hockey.

"I also wasn't selected for my high school or primary school because I was a girl. I, therefore, got 100 girls to sign a petition and started my first ever team at my high school."

Moving to the US was the "only option" open to Carolyn - a move which helped her win a scholarship to fund her education.
