Bristol City women's manager Lauren Smith was inside Wembley Stadium to see the Lionesses create footballing history and end England's 56-year wait for silverware.
In a day that will go down in the history books, goals from Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly have put the women's game on a new pedestal and the time for acting on their success to continue raising the reputation and building a platform is now.
Thousands of young girls and boys across the country will be inspired by what they witnessed at Wembley on Sunday and throughout the tournament with 87,000 people inside the home of football helping roar the Lionesses to success even as fatigue kicked in heading into extra-time.
