When is Lionesses trophy parade? Full details and date for England Euro 2025 party
Euro 2025 final: The Lionesses celebrate as they lift trophy
England fans will get the chance to celebrate their European champions at an event in London next week. The Lionesses won Euro 2025 after a penalty shootout victory over Spain.
Sarina Wiegman's side were seeking redemption against Spain following their defeat in the World Cup final two years ago. However, they found themselves trailing after Mariona Caldentey scored a goal past Hannah Hampton in the first half.
England equalised 12 minutes into the second half thanks to Alessia Russo's strike. Despite both teams' efforts, neither could secure a win before extra time.
The additional period also ended without a decisive goal, leading to a penalty shootout. Hampton made two crucial saves during the shootout, and Chloe Kelly delivered the winning kick. They will now get a parade to celebrate on Tuesday - and here are all the details.
When is the event?
Following England's memorable win on Sunday night, there will be a homecoming celebration event in central London on Tuesday July 29.
What activities are planned?
There will be an open-top bus procession along The Mall, which will start at 12:10pm, culminating with a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace starting at approximately 12:30pm. The ceremony event will be hosted by Alex Scott.
Is the event on TV?
The celebration event will be broadcast live across the BBC, ITV and Sky between 12:00pm and 1:00pm.
What have the FA said?
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."
Have the Lionesses ever had a celebration event in the past?
Three years ago, following their Euro 2022 success, the England players were honoured with a trophy parade during a celebration event in Trafalgar Square.
In that tournament, Wiegman guided her team to a 2-1 victory over Germany in the final, with Kelly scoring the winning goal in extra time.

Singing, dancing and a Cavapoo called Reggie: how England celebrated Euros glory
England's history-making players celebrated their Euro 2025 triumph alongside family, friends and a Cavapoo called Reggie long into the early hours of Monday morning. Songs by Natasha Bedingfield, Heather Small and Gala all featured on a night of singalongs, dancing and drinking as the team, the staff and their loved ones soaked in the moment after their victory against the world champions Spain in a penalty shootout in Basel. The Lionesses are known to love singing as a team after victories and they were already performing their own rendition of Calum Scott's cover of Dancing on My Own by the time they left the pitch to walk into their dressing room – with the head coach, Sarina Wiegman, declaring confidently that 'we're going to party tonight' in her press conference before exiting Basel. The squad's nearest and dearest had been situated directly behind the England technical area in the lower tier of the stands in Basel, allowing the players to embrace them in the aftermath of the final, which was their third consecutive major-tournament final. After Chloe Kelly's winning penalty kick clinched the victory, Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline was soon blasting around St Jakob-Park. Lucy Bronze celebrated on the pitch amid the glitter with her young nephews while Beth Mead hugged her partner, the Netherlands and Manchester City forward Vivianne Miedema, in the stands. The families and friends then travelled to the Dolder Grand hotel – the Lionesses' luxurious base, overlooking the city of Zurich as well as Lake Zurich and the distant mountains of the Alps – and were ready to greet the team when their coach arrived. The players, all wearing deliberately back-to-front England shirts emblazoned with 'Champions, 25', arrived at the party to the sound of the London-born singer Heather Small's debut solo single from 2000, Proud – a song that had been played repeatedly throughout the Lionesses' run to the final. In a moment that is now becoming something of a tradition for the team at such Lionesses parties, the captain, Leah Williamson, and Wiegman, are understood to have cut a cake in celebration. Before long, all present were singing along to some of the team's favourite celebratory tunes such as Gala's Freed From Desire – which burst into popularity with football fans in 2016 at the men's European Championship in France – as well as Sweet Caroline and, several hours later, Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten. There was also an impressive rendition of Ike & Tina Turner's River Deep, Mountain High, performed with a microphone by the England midfielder Ella Toone. A 1996 version of that same song by Celine Dion had become popular with the Lionesses after their victories at Euro 2022 on home soil, most memorably being sung by Rachel Daly on stage in Trafalgar Square at the team's public celebratory event on the day after their victory against Germany that year.

Earlier, the team had taken turns to cuddle Reggie, a dog belonging to the team's private barista James, who has worked with the Lionesses at St George's Park in Staffordshire as well as in Zurich. The team then flew back to London for a reception at 10 Downing Street on Monday afternoon, where they were hosted by the deputy prime minister. Before takeoff Williamson was seen cradling the European Championship trophy, saying: 'We are taking it home back to London, for the next four years.'

Victorious Lionesses land back in the UK as fans flock to see their Euros heroes ahead of trip to Downing Street - despite being told to STAY AWAY
England fans have flocked to see the victorious Lionesses as they touched down less than 24 hours after defeating Spain in the Euro 2025 final. Supporters had been warned not to travel to the airport to get the first glimpse of the the returning heroes - who were due to land around 2pm before they were delayed for an hour. Given their efforts, the Lionesses would be forgiven for feeling a little worse for wear, but they will be expected to be back on top form for what promises to be packed celebratory schedule. The victorious squad are set to touch down on Monday afternoon before heading off to Downing Street, where they will be hosted by Angela Rayner with PM Sir Keir Starmer in Scotland meeting Donald Trump. Tuesday brings the eagerly awaited open-top bus procession along The Mall, which is set to get underway at 12.10pm and culminate with a staged ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace starting at approximately 12.30pm. The ceremony event will be hosted by Alex Scott. It's there fans will get the chance to honour their heroes and not upon the squad's arrival to the UK following a directive from the FA on Monday. 'Our history-making Lionesses will return home this afternoon,' wrote a spokesman. 'But due to limited space at the airport, we would advise fans not to travel there today. 'Instead, we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible in Central London tomorrow for the homecoming celebrations.' It is hoped the move will prevent potential overcrowding and logistical issues during a busy period for airports and guarantee the players' and staff's smooth and safe arrival home. It promises to be another extraordinary occasion to rival the trophy parade in Trafalgar Square three years ago. Though dramatic, England's success that time around was comparatively less tense that the one achieved on Sunday night at the St. Jakob-Park. But they were still ultimately grateful for the contribution of Chloe Kelly, the match winner against Germany at Wembley, who scored the decisive penalty to sink Spain. Kelly's introduction part-way through the first half changed the momentum of a game that Spain dominated and looked set to win. The 27-year-old, who - like her Gunners team-mates - adds Euros glory to Champions League success, assisted Alessia Russo's 57th-minute equaliser after Mariona Caldentey's 25th-minute opener. The two sides could not be separated after 120 minutes of action, leading to the dreaded penalty shootout. England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton produced two saves and saw another go wide of the post in the 3-1 shoot-out win. England stars celebrated long into the night after their dramatic penalty shoot-out win over Spain. Players joined family and friends to let their hair down. Match winner Chloe Kelly looked remarkably well rested, given the partying the squad enjoyed after the win Drinks were flowing as friends and family joined the England players in celebration Keira Walsh (left) and Alex Greenwood (right) are among the Lionesses stars to claim their second title Ella Toone sang karaoke as England manager Sarina Wiegman and captain Leah Williamson cut a celebratory cake together. Players were still partying into the early hours of the morning, with Toone's partner Joe Bunney posting a picture at 4.10am on Monday morning. Celebrations began in earnest swiftly after their title defence was assured, with the Lionesses performing a musical number as they left the field. Led by captain Leah Williamson and Beth Mead, England's players belted out 2010 hit Dancing On My Own by Robyn as they exited down the tunnel. The team would later return to the field armed with boxfuls of pizza and cans of beer. Friends and family also joined in the celebrations. Lauren James was seen posing for a group selfie with a large squad of loved-ones, including Chelsea men's captain Reece James. Lauren Hemp celebrated her second European Championship crown by wrapping her arms around girlfriend and former footballer Ashley Hodson. Inside the England dressing room, Grace Clinton, Aggie Beever-Jones and Jess Park shared a selfie with their medals. Beever-Jones had an extra reason to celebrate as Sunday was her 22nd birthday. The Chelsea star captioned an Instagram post: 'BEST BIRTHDAY EVER.' Beever-Jones and Leah Williamson (right) refuelled with pizza and beer after Sunday's big win Maya Le Tissier later uploaded a selfie of herself and Beever-Jones flaunting their medals while on the team bus. It was not only the players in the party mood. Indeed, manager Wiegman discussed her plans for the rest of the evening during a post-match interview. 'I'll do some more dancing,' she said. 'I'll have a drink but I don't think I'll drink as much as the players will do.' By late morning, the squad was seen boarding the coach that would take them to the airport ahead of their trip back. Hemp was seen holding a Lego set based on the Disney movie 'Beauty and the Beast' as she leaves the team hotel in Zurich. Georgia Stanway looked a little jaded as she walked to the team coach followed by young starlet Michelle Agyemang.

Lioness heroine Chloe Kelly celebrates with 'speechless' husband Scott after star's dazzling Euro penalty shootout win
England heroine Chloe Kelly didn't just leave England speechless as she sent home the winning penalty against Spain on Sunday - her husband was lost for words too. Scott Moore shared a sweet post on Instagram wearing his wife's Euro 2025 winners medal alongside the no. 18 forward, who grinned as she wrapped her arm around his neck in the stands of Switzerland's St. Jakob-Park. 'Speechless once again - love you,' he wrote, adding two white love heart emojis. Later, as the celebrations carried on into the night, Kelly's agent Nicole Macdermott shared an image of the loved-up pair in the midst of the party. The artsy black and white shot showed the forward balanced on the shoulders of her adoring husband. She had swapped her club kit for a pair of tracksuit bottoms and a ringer-style t-shirt emblazoned with the slogan 'Champions 25'. The Lionesses roared to victory last night in a nail-biting penalty shootout that saw them triumph over Spain in the European Championship final. Speaking after the match Chloe gushed that she was 'so proud of this team, so grateful to wear this badge' and 'so proud to be English'. The footballer, 27, who also famously scored the winner in England's 2022 Euros final win over Germany, has consistently proved herself on the pitch, after first playing the sport at the age of seven with her five brothers. But outside of the game, Chloe lives a somewhat glamorous life, enjoying lavish holidays, red carpet opportunities and designer clothes - with her husband never far behind her, always present and supportive. Prior to the Euros, the sportswoman showcased a sun-soaked trip on her Instagram page, showing off her enviable figure in a bright pink bikini. She's also previously delighted her 1.1million followers with glimpses of her holidays to Dubai, Ocean Beach Club in Ibiza and Paris. When she's not training on the pitch for England or for her local team of Arsenal, she also enjoys strutting her stuff on red carpets. The footballer has proven a number of times that she knows how to dress to impress when attending glamorous occasions, such as the MTV EMAs, The BRIT Awards and GLAMOUR's Women of the Year Awards. Clearly a lover of designer fashion, with the sportswoman showcasing an array of upscale handbags on her social media page, Chloe has also attended British Vogue events and London Fashion Week. Her plus one at these VIP occasions - which has included days out at Silverstone for the F1 British Grand Prix - is often Scott, with whom she tied the knot at Merrydale Manor in Over Peover, Cheshire, on 24 July 2024. Chloe and Scott, who is thought to work for a golf centre, first met each other at the Everton playing ground where they both worked at the time and have largely kept their romance out of the public eye. The couple announced their engagement in December 2023. Over the festive period, Chloe took to Instagram to share the happy news after Scott got down on one knee in a romantic Northern Lights proposal in Iceland. The footballer shared a snap as the pair wrapped up in the snow against the lit up green sky. Showing off her diamond ring she posed with her hand on her fiancé's chest as the couple beamed for the snap. She captioned the post: 'The easiest YES. Here's to forever with you'. Chloe also shared a close up of the ring as she skated across the snow in a husky pulled sleigh. The sportswoman was overwhelmed with heartfelt messages from her fellow teammates and celebrity pals as they swarmed the comments. For her wedding day, Chloe opted for a Galia Lahav dress, a flowing gown complete with a high neck and embellished sleeves. Her bridal look was finished off with a matching veil from the same brand along with a pair of Jimmy Choo heels and jewellery from London-based Bucherer Fine Jewellery. Chloe, who typically keeps her makeup low-key on a day-to-day basis, opted for a glamorous look for the occasion, put together by celebrity makeup artist, Selina Bassi. Hair stylist Michael Gray worked his magic on her hair, styling Chloe's blonde tresses into a half updo style. The England ace's bridesmaids wore black silk dresses for the wedding, which was also attended by footballers Gabby George, Sandy Maciver and Mayumi Pacheco. White flowers lined the room where Chloe and Scott said 'I do'. A white aisle and warmly lit candles added to the whimsical setting, with French windows displaying the grounds of the Cheshire venue. The footballer's triplet brothers, Ryan, Jamie, and Martin, were three of Scott's groomsmen, and her sister Paris was her maid of honour. Clearly a lover of designer fashion, with the sportswoman showcasing an array of upscale handbags on her social media page, Chloe has also attended British Vogue events and London Fashion Week Before her wedding, Chloe revealed a glimpse into what her daily life is like, and stressed the importance of looking after her body. Speaking in an interview with Glamour UK in 2022, she said: 'I train my body to perform, not to look good. But looking good is always a bonus... 'I think being able to perform at the highest level [involves] making sure I'm eating right, drinking right and sleeping well, as well as making sure I'm doing all my recovery possible to perform on the pitch.' Chloe hails from humble beginnings as the youngest of seven children, whose first taste of football was playing with her five older brothers on a caged pitch on the Windmill Park Estate. 'I don't think there are many who came up playing in a cage,' the 27-year-old has previously said. 'I was always around the cage with the boys as soon as I was allowed, about the age of seven. My brothers included me even though they were older and playing with their friends.' However she added her brothers certainly didn't go easy on her because she was a girl 'They were probably the ones telling everyone to hit me harder. Get used to it,' she joked. 'If I was on the floor, they would tell me to get up.' Chloe Kelly attends the Glamour Women of The Year Awards 2023 at One Marylebone on October 17, 2023 in London Prior to the Euros, the sportswoman showcased a sun-soaked trip on her Instagram page, showing off her enviable figure in a bright pink bikini. She's also previously delighted her 1.1million followers with glimpses of her holidays to Dubai , Ocean Beach Club in Ibiza and Paris Meanwhile, the Lionesses will celebrate their historic Euros victory with an open-top bus parade in central London and a trip to Downing Street, but there are no plans for a bank holiday. England fans erupted with joy across the country as the team defended their Euros title in a penalty shootout win over Spain in the final in Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday. Chloe scored the winning spot-kick following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, sending supporters in fan zones into raptures. The King said the team had the royal family's 'warmest appreciation and admiration' following their victory, adding: 'The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can.' The Downing Street reception on Monday is due to be hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. The team will then attend a homecoming celebration event on Tuesday, with a ceremony expected to take place outside Buckingham Palace. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hailed the team's triumph, saying: 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation. 'Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country. The Lionesses successfully defended the historic crown they won at Wembley three years ago The Arsenal star smashed the ball into the top corner past Spain's Cata Coll to win the Euros 'It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team.' There will be an open-top bus parade along the Mall before the ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial, the FA said. Fans can attend for free and it will be broadcast live on BBC, ITV, and Sky. However, it is understood Downing Street has no plans for a bank holiday to mark the Lionesses' triumph. Supporters stood on tables, waved flags, threw drinks in the air and excitedly hugged each other as England claimed victory, while the Prince of Wales and Sir Keir watched on from the stands in Basel. Alessia Russo gave the Lionesses hope of retaining their Euros title with her second-half equaliser after Mariona Caldentey netted the opener for Spain in the 25th minute. In a statement posted on X after the game, King Charles said: 'This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the Euros 2025. 'For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant "football's coming home". 'As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. 'For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration.' The King added: 'More than that, though, 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.' A picture of the Prince of Wales with his arm around his daughter Princess Charlotte was posted to X following the presentation of the trophy to the Lionesses, with the caption 'champions of Europe'. The pair congratulated the team in a short statement, saying: 'What a game! Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment England.' The statement was the first message Charlotte has personally signed on the Prince and Princess of Wales's X account. Sir Keir was the first to congratulate England on their win – posting on X: 'Champions! Congratulations Lionesses – what a team. What a game. What drama. 'You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers.'
