Thousands set to descend on London as Lionesses' Euros celebrations continue
Thousands of fans are expected to descend on central London as celebrations for England's historic European Championships victory continue with an open-top bus procession on Tuesday. Supporters cheered with joy across the country as the team defended their Euros title with a penalty shootout win over Spain in the final in Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday. The revelry is set to continue when the Lionesses and their head coach Sarina Wiegman make their way along the Mall near Buckingham Palace on the bus just after midday, with thousands of fans set to line the road to join in the celebrations. There will also be a trophy ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of the palace, hosted by former England right-back Alex Scott. The free event is hosted by the FA, which has warned fans to plan their visit 'carefully' as they expect it to be very busy. Mark Bullingham, chief executive of the 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 procession comes after celebrations on home soil began on Monday afternoon when the team landed at Southend Airport in Essex. Hundreds of fans waited patiently to catch a glimpse of Wiegman's side and the trophy, which captain Leah Williamson held up in front of jubilant crowds, before the squad made their way to Downing Street for a reception hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. Number 10 was decorated for the occasion, with St George's flags draped over windows and bunting along the railings. Wiegman and some of her Lionesses spoke to the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer via video call from the garden of No 10. The Dutchwoman said 'hello Keir, nice to see you', adding 'it's lovely here'. Sir Keir said: 'Fantastic to see you all and welcome to Downing Street. I just wanted to say a huge, huge congratulations to you and to the whole team. 'It was an absolutely amazing victory and you must've felt the eyes and ears of the whole country on you last night.' At the reception, Wiegman congratulated her team and called for more investment in the women's game, saying: 'The team is just incredible, we won the Euros but making the final, we're already legendary, what the team has done and the team behind the team.' Speaking a few hours before the Government announced a new package of measures to boost access to grassroots football, she added: 'This incredible team won the Euros and then straightaway sent a letter to you, the Government, asking for attention and asking for access to football for all girls. 'Steps have been taken but we're not done yet, we have to keep moving forward and we need a little bit more.' On Monday night, the Government announced plans for priority access to grassroots football pitches for girls and women to be more than doubled. As part of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport's proposals, prime time slots dedicated to women's and girls' teams at Government-funded facilities across England will be increased over the next five years to meet the expected increased demand after the Lionesses' dramatic win. As well as the Prime Minister, the King also congratulated the European champions, saying in a statement posted on X: 'You have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms. 'Well done, Lionesses.' The Prince of Wales was spotted in the stands in Basel on Sunday applauding with those around him, including Princess Charlotte, and royal celebrations could continue as a trip to Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle may be arranged for the team as plans for a reception in the autumn are being explored by royal aides, it is understood.

‘We spend £9k a year on petrol driving our daughter around'
When Jo Mitchelhill and her husband, Graham, chose a private school in Canterbury for their daughter Jessica, 11, the cost of getting to school didn't cross their minds. Yet the decision would end up costing them more than £9,000 a Mitchelhills, from Sittingbourne, Kent, picked a school in Canterbury, 22 miles away, committing to seven years of 44-mile commutes, twice a day, five days a week. They also drive their daughter to clubs and competitions, meaning that their 'mum and dad taxi service' could rack up as much as 800 miles a week. It's a story many can relate to. Parents spend an average of 176 hours a year driving their children round, adding up to an astonishing 3,000 miles, according to Motorway, an online car marketplace. • Read more money advice and tips on investing from our experts The government's advisory fuel rates, which it provides for employees using company cars, suggest that the average cost of petrol is between 12p and 22p a mile and diesel between 11p and 17p a mile. So ferrying children to school and back, and to clubs and activities, can make a significant dent in household budgets. We look at the real cost to parents of providing a taxi service for their children. Jo Mitchelhill, 49, a parenting coach, and Graham, 58, a mortgage broker, struggled to find a school close to home which they felt was suitable for their daughter. 'The local schools didn't seem like a good fit — the grammar was too academic, and we wanted her to have equal focus on sport and art. But the comprehensive was enormous and we were worried she'd be lost in a year group of 300.' But with the new school 22 miles away, they quickly realised they had to take on a long daily commute. 'As we're both self-employed, we have flexibility over who does the school run, so we're lucky in that way,' Jo said. The Mitchelhills rack up 440 miles a week on the school run alone. But this isn't the end of the story. 'Jessica also does sport outside school. Netball is just six miles away once a week, but matches, which happen weekly, could be 20 miles away. 'She also plays hockey, which is 12 miles away when it's held at the local club, or 26 miles when it's held at Herne Bay, which happens a couple of times a month.' They go there and back twice, which can add 104 miles to the weekly total. Jessica also does pony club every week, which is a 20-mile round trip, and she sometimes takes part in competitions that can be up to 100 miles away. That could mean a weekly total of more than 800 miles, which would cost about £176, according to the government's figures. So, it's no surprise that the Mitchelhills noticed their petrol bill rocketing. 'When Graham told me our petrol was sometimes costing £250 a week, including our own work mileage, which can vary each week as we're both self-employed, we knew we had to make a change,' Jo said. They have now leased an electric car which has reduced their monthly cost to as little as £30. • Should you help your children to buy a home? Leanne Webster, from Perth and Kinross, also spends a large part of her time — and money — ferrying her four children, Jessica, 15, John, 14, Sophie, 11, and Daniel, 10, around. Webster, 43, who works as a maternal wellness mentor, makes a seven-mile drive to collect her daughter, Jessica, from school about twice a week. 'She has a medical condition and sometimes needs to come home.' Jessica also studies some of her subjects in Perth, about 40 miles away, and needs to be taken there twice a week. But it's the children's social lives that can turn a relatively modest commute into a big bill for Leanne. 'Jessica goes out about two or three times a week. Each time I'll drop her off and collect her from a friend's house; I drive about 15-20 miles,' Webster said. John also meets his friends in Aberfeldy about twice a week, which is another ten miles each way for Leanne. Sophie has an active social life, going on playdates almost every day of the week. Each friend lives 5-10 miles away and Webster usually drives both ways. Clubs also mean more taxi trips for Leanne. John is on the local football team, which trains twice a week, plus weekend matches can be up to 80 miles away. 'John also has Explorer Scouts twice a month, that's 21 miles away. And he goes swimming once a week at the local pool — a 14-mile round trip. 'Sophie also has scouts once a week in Aberfeldy. Daniel's friends are all local, although he, too, goes swimming once a week.' On weeks when John has an away game, Leanne could be covering about 750 miles. And even on quieter weeks, she does about 560 miles. In her diesel car, this could be setting her back about £128 a week and Leanne budgets up to £600 a month to cover fuel. 'I'm a single mum, self-employed and the only adult in the household, so I fit my business and my wants around the children's activities.' Carpooling or sharing lifts can help to cut costs. Using public transport or encouraging children to walk or cycle where possible can also cut bills, but these options aren't always available, or suitable for everyone. If savings cannot easily be made, it's important to remember that these hectic years won't last forever. 'Jessica won't be at her school for more than seven years,' Jo said. 'So while we're having to sacrifice big family holidays and a second car to afford the fees and transport, we see it as a worthwhile investment.'

Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, sports a knee brace for padel game with girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti on Italian getaway
Leonardo DiCaprio sported a knee brace while enjoying a padel match with his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti during their lavish Italian getaway on Sunday. The 50-year-old Oscar winner — who showed off his recent weight loss on the trip — took part in the relaxing game while spending time on the island of Sardinia with other close pals. The Titanic actor opted for comfort with a short-sleeved plain white T-shirt and khaki shorts. Leonardo also slipped into a pair of white Nike sneakers and donned a green-and-white cap. The star — who was romantically linked to Vittoria in 2023 — completed his outfit by rocking a pair of black shades. The supermodel, 27, flaunted her toned frame in a white tank top, as well as fitted black shorts and white sneakers. Leonardo DiCaprio, 50, sported a knee brace while enjoying a padel match with his model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti during their lavish Italian getaway on Sunday. The Oscar winner took part in the relaxing game while spending time on the island of Sardinia with other close pals The Titanic actor opted for comfort with a short-sleeved plain white T-shirt and khaki shorts Vittoria's brunette locks were styled into two braids covered by a green baseball cap. The couple were seen on the court during the match. and later they strolled side-by-side on the way to their next destination. Leonardo no longer sported the knee brace, while his model girlfriend layered her ensemble with a black hoodie. The two stars have been enjoying the summer season in Europe, and earlier this month they were spotted on a luxurious yacht in Saint Tropez. The Hollywood actor showcased his slimmer frame alongside his bikini-clad girlfriend as they soaked up the warm sun. Leonardo donned a pair of black swim trunks and a gold necklace before taking a dip in the cool water. Vittoria wore a skimpy pink bikini top with matching drawstring bottoms as she joined her boyfriend on the spacious boat. It came not long after the lovebirds attended the star-studded wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez in Venice late last month — with the actor garnering backlash for his attendance. Leonardo also slipped into a pair of white Nike sneakers and donned a green-and-white cap The couple were seen on the court during the match and later strolled side-by-side to their next destination. Leonardo no longer sported the knee brace while the beauty layered her ensemble with a black hoodie Leonardo and Vittoria first sparked romance rumors in August 2023 during an ice cream date in Santa Barbara. The following month, The Wolf Of Wall Street actor was seen at Milan Fashion Week to support the model. In November of that, she was spotted attending Leo's 49th birthday bash in Beverly Hills. A source told Us Weekly at the time, 'They are in love. Leo was clearly very proud to be showing Vittoria off and letting everyone see how happy they are together.' Since going public with their relationship, Leonardo and Vittoria have been embroiled in engagement rumors. During an interview with Vogue France earlier this year in March, Vittoria revealed that she met the actor in Milan, but she didn't go into specifics. The couple mainly keep their romance private, but she offered a slight glimpse at their relationship while talking to the outlet. 'As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become "girlfriend of" — or "boyfriend of," for that matter,' she said. 'And that can be extremely annoying. Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex.' Vittoria added, 'So it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.' The model was then questioned about whether jealousy was part of a relationship while dating someone who is often in the spotlight and is well-known in the industry. 'It's something you learn,' she said. 'If what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence.' Before her romance with Leonardo, Vittoria was married to Matteo Milleri from 2020 until their divorce in 2023. The Hollywood actor was previously in a relationship with actress Camila Morrone from 2017 through 2022. Aside from spending quality time with Vittoria, Leonardo has been keeping busy during the summer season — including when he made an appearance at Wimbledon earlier this month. He was seen in the stands while watching the championships in London in a sleek gray suit and a white shirt. The star has a number of projects under his belt, including Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming political action thriller One Battle After Another, which is hits theaters on September 26.
