“There was no mention of me ever playing football growing up,” said Wendy Buckingham, 64, as she sat along The Mall waiting for the Lionesses’ victory parade to begin. “So to see this here today makes me very proud.”
Ms Buckingham was one of tens of thousands who travelled from across the UK on Tuesday morning to bag a spot as the victorious Lionesses rode through central London on an open-top bus to celebrate their historic Euro 2025 win.
