Every member of England’s victorious Lionesses football team are to be awarded gongs in the New Year’s Honours list.
Plans are well advanced for the triumphant side to share a clutch of CBEs, OBEs and MBEs while Dutch manager Sarina Wiegman is likely to be made an honorary dame.
There was disappointment when the Lionesses were not honoured with a visit to Downing Street after beating Germany 2-1 in the UEFA women’s championship final on July 31.
