Monday 1 August 2022 09:39 AM Women's Euros 2022: Millions of fans celebrate across England after victory trends now

Millions of fans across the country were in delirium this morning following a night of partying after England won the Women's Euros - securing the first major tournament title for any England team since 1966.

Fanzones and pubs from Croydon to Aylesbury and Newcastle to Brighton were packed as families cheered on the Lionesses who beat Germany 2-1 after extra time in front of a crowd of 87,000 at Wembley Stadium.

And there were ecstatic scenes at Trafalgar Square last night where thousands of people celebrated while watching on the big screen – with some left so excited that they jumped into the fountains following the victory.

The area erupted into celebrations with horns tooted and chants of 'It's coming home' and 'England' heard.

Samantha Isaac, 38, who lives in Essex, said it was 'a historic moment'. She said: 'It's really important for women and girls to get this level of success and this many people here. I'm over the moon, they have worked so hard.'

Her daughter Evie Isaac, nine, who plays football, said it was 'exciting'. Also there was Rihana Bhugalee, 14, from Dartford, Kent, who said the atmosphere was 'very energetic and lively'.

Mitra Wilson, 38, an osteopath receptionist from Croydon, wached the final in Trafalgar Square with her daughters Rebecca, nine, and Isabelle, eight, who were both wearing England flag face paint.

She said: 'It is empowering them (her daughters) to know they can do it and nothing has to hold them back.'

Today, Trafalgar Square will host another party as thousands of fans will be able to celebrate the win with the players.

Up to 7,000 supporters will have the opportunity to join the team for a daytime event hosted by veteran Lioness Alex Scott in Trafalgar Square.

Supporters will be able to gain free entry on a first-come first-served basis from 11am today, and can enjoy live music from DJ Monki while tournament highlights are shown on screens.

The players and their manager, Sarina Wiegman, will take part in a Q&A session before lifting the trophy.

The event has been organised by the Greater London Authority, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Westminster Council, and will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 12.40pm. It is expected to end at 2pm.

Fans will be able to bring their own food and disposable or reusable water bottles - except glass - on site, with free water refills also available.

Yesterday, England fans have described the team's Euros win a 'victory for girls across the country'.

Among the fans at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, where the Lionesses beat Germany in the final, were family groups, including young women and girls.

There was a carnival-like atmosphere as a huge sea of England flags were carried out of the stadium after the match, with supporters cheering, blowing horns and singing Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline and Queen's We Are The Champions.

Two young girls with St George flags painted on their faces were excitedly singing It's Coming Home. Large groups embraced and danced with each other.

Megan Morinis, from Chelmsford, Essex, who watched the game with her boyfriend Max, said: 'There were so many young girls and women here to watch this match - who says we don't like football?

'They played so well against a really good team in Germany and represented this country so well. It wasn't just a historic sporting win, it was a victory for girls across the country.'

Mary Caine, 33, from Macclesfield, Cheshire, who watched the game with her daughter Sam, eight, said: 'The girls finally brought football home. We're delighted, it's historic, it was magic in there and a breakthrough moment for women's sport.'

Other fans said the atmosphere inside the stadium had been 'electric' and a huge 'step forward' for women's
