Will England have a trophy parade after winning Euro 2025?
The Lionesses will show off their trophy on Tuesday 29 July after leaning on goalkeeper Hannah Hampton during the shootout, with the Chelsea shot-stopper thriving to deny Mariona Caldentey and Aitana Bonmati, while Salma Paralluelo missed the target completely.
Sarina Wiegman 's side, playing their third successive major final, rallied after an early setback in the first half at St Jakob Park.
Mariona Caldentey broke the deadlock with a superb header, but Alessia Russo's own header from Kelly's delightful cross forced extra-time, with nothing separating the sides after a further 30 minutes. Here's everything we know about a title parade for the Lionesses after Wiegman's side created more history:
When and where will the parade be?
The Lionesses' Euro 2025 parade will be on Tuesday 29 July with an open-top bus procession along The Mall. It will start at 12.10pm BST, finishing with a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace starting at approximately 12.30pm.
How can I watch the parade?
The homecoming celebration will be broadcast live across the BBC, ITV and Sky between 12pm noon and 1pm. Fans can also follow coverage of the event across England's social media channels.
The event is free to attend, with the Band of His Majesty's Royal Marines Portsmouth and the Central Band of the Royal Air Force welcoming home the victorious England team.
What has the FA said about the parade?
FA Chief Executive, Mark Bullingham, said: "Our history-making Lionesses are Champions of Europe for the second successive time, and have become the first England Senior team in history to win a tournament overseas. 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.'
What has the goverment said about the parade?
Secretary of State for Culture Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, said: "The Lionesses' incredible win has done our country proud. Now, we have the chance to cheer these heroes home at their homecoming parade. The Lionesses didn't just set out to win the tournament, they wanted to change society – and this government is rising to that challenge. Whether it is supporting girls and boys to pursue school sport, investing in grassroots facilities across the country or bidding for the 2035 Women's World Cup, we are laying the foundations for a decade of change by breaking down the barriers to participation and inspiring the next generation of players."

Doctor gives verdict on England hero Lucy Bronze's claim that she played whole of Lionesses' triumphant Euros with a 'broken leg'
A leading doctor has said it is 'remarkable' Lucy Bronze was able to play throughout Euro 2025 after the defender revealed she had battled through the tournament with a 'fractured tibia'. Bronze was a key member of Sariana Wiegman's victorious team throughout the competition. The 33-year-old right back played 598 minutes at the tournament, the fourth most in the England team, playing in each match. Bronze was substituted in the latter stages of two England group matches, but came through back-to-back 120 minute contests as the Lionesses went to extra-time in the quarters and semi-finals. She was forced off at half-time in extra time during Sunday's final, which ended 1-1 before England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties in Basel. But when asked about the new knee injury she picked up during the game, Bronze disclosed that she had already been playing through far worse. 'I have actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia,' she told BBC Sport. 'And then I have hurt my knee on my other leg. 'That's why I got a lot of praise from the girls after the Sweden game, as I've been in a lot of pain. If that's what it takes to play for England, that's what I'll do. Very painful.' While confirming she had a fractured tibia, Bronze has not disclosed the full extent of the problem. Speaking to the BBC, Dr Mark Bowditch, President of the British Orthopaedic Association, said it was 'remarkable' Bronze had played so much at Euro 2025 due to the injury. Bowditch, a consultant knee and sports surgeon, suggested Bronze would likely have been playing with a stress fracture, which would likely have seen pain emerge after matches. 'Fractures of the tibia range from partial break, such as a stress or fatigue split, through to a complete break and separation,' Bowditch said. 'A complete break is the high-energy sudden injury from a fall from a height, twist or direct blow, such as a studs-up tackle. You cannot continue to play on or even walk on a complete break. 'Stress/fatigue fractures - which is likely to be the type Lucy Bronze has - are low-energy repeated injury and usually seen in athletes or army personnel. 'They normally present with pain after activity, rather than a sudden incident.' Bowditch suggested the England medical team would have had to adjust Bronze's training to enable her to remain on the pitch during the competition. 'She probably has had to reduce the amount of training she has done in between games or train in a low weight-bearing environment such as a swimming pool or anti-gravity trainer,' he added. 'It's a great tribute to Dr Ritan Mehta and Lionesses medical team that they have managed to keep Lucy going.' England boss Wiegman admitted they had attempted to manage Bronze's injury while at the tournament. Wiegman had brought off Bronze in the latter stages of group matches against the Netherlands and Wales, where England had held convincing leads to help book their place in the knock-out stage.

Conditions ‘really tough' for running UK businesses, says Gary Neville
Former footballer and entrepreneur Gary Neville has said conditions are 'really tough' for UK businesses in the face of surging costs and tight margins. The former England and Manchester United player has built up a business empire including commercial properties, hotels and media companies since retiring. Advertisement On Tuesday, Mr Neville was also appointed brand ambassador of business software firm Sage as it launched a new long-term partnership with the English Football League (EFL). Gary Neville stressed the importance of successful football teams to local economies (Sage/PA) He told the PA news agency that there are 'huge opportunities' for how football clubs and businesses can join forces to help drive growth in regions across the UK. Mr Neville said: 'The impact of having Football League clubs, and those crowds and attendance, is massive for the local economy and businesses. And not just in terms of actual financial terms but in terms of the spirit of a city and a town too. 'A successful football club and a football club that's thriving can definitely have a big impact on small businesses in the surrounding town or city. Advertisement 'Local businesses thrive upon those local match days, and the successful team having more matches at home so they can make more money, because it's bloody hard work to make money for local businesses, and they need supporting on a regular basis.' Nevertheless, he stressed that it was a 'challenging' time to run a business in the UK after sharp recent cost increases and pressure on consumer demand. The Sky Sports pundit runs a raft of businesses including League Two club Salford City, which he owns as part of a group including David Beckham and US businessman Declan Kelly. 'It's tough. It's really, really tough because cost of products gone up, cost of everything, utilities, rents, everything, has gone up,' Mr Neville said. Advertisement 'It is challenging at this moment in time – there are certain sectors where it's tough to operate, just purely because of rising costs and people finding it tough to be able to find the money to go and support those local businesses.' His work with Sage comes as the firm becomes the official accounting software partner for the EFL. The group has launched a new UK campaign to champion local businesses, with fans across all 72 EFL clubs invited to nominate the matchday heroes in their community. Steve Hare, chief executive of Sage, said: 'We've been supporting British small businesses since we were founded, including many football clubs up and down the country. Advertisement 'It's fantastic to bring all of this together in support of the small businesses that power the football experience week in, week out.' Mr Neville added: 'I've seen it from my time as a player and now as an owner, just how vital these businesses are. I'm proud to join Sage in celebrating their contribution and helping them thrive.'
