Watch the Lionesses Trophy Parade live, where ITV will hear from fans, experts and the Lionesses themselves as they bring their second Euros trophy home.
Thousands of fans descended upon central London on Tuesday, hoping to get a glimpse of the Lionesses as they celebrate their back-to-back Euros win.
The team made history by becoming the first England squad to win a major trophy abroad, and the first senior England team to defend their title.
Celebrations kick off at 12.10pm, where an open-top bus procession will travel along The Mall.
There will then be a ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace from 12.30pm, with the event set to wrap up around 1pm.
The Football Association has advised fans to plan their visit "carefully" as it's expected that thousands will line the road to join in the celebrations.
Speaking ahead of the parade, Mark Bullingham, chief executive of the Football Association (FA), said: "We are so proud of all of the players, Sarina and the support team who have all been part of this incredible achievement.
"They have all worked unbelievably hard and we know the nation shares our pride.
"The victory celebration in London on Tuesday will give England fans an opportunity to celebrate with the players, and be part of history.
"We've had amazing support from our fans both in Switzerland and at home throughout the tournament, and we look forward to celebrating together and creating some lifelong memories."
The Lionesses beat Spain 3-1 in a dramatic penalty shoot-out at the Euros final against Spain, with Chloe Kelly netting the winning shot, to land back-to-back titles.
On their return, the team attended a Downing Street reception with the Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner.
Number 10 was decorated for the occasion, with St George's flags draped over windows and bunting along the railings.
During a speech at the reception, the deputy prime minister said the Lionesses' defended the title "with grit and with determination and skill".
"You roared and I know I wasn't the only one roaring with you," she said.
Representatives from the FA, players, and coaches were all in attendance.
