When is England Women's Euro 2022 parade? Time and details for Trafalgar Square celebration

England's women secured their first ever tournament success - and the country's first in almost 60 years - as they saw off Germany at Wembley to claim Euro 2022.

The Lionesses, backed by home support, had looked like a champion side from the opening night and saw off Spain and Sweden en route to the final, which they won in extra-time. Chloe Kelly, on as a substitute, poked home the winner with ten minutes to go.

The Manchester City forward raced away in celebration, taking her shirt off, before the entire team enjoyed their historic moment once the full-time whistle went. More than 87,000 people packed into Wembley - a record for a UEFA international competition.

Where and where is the victory parade?

England fans will get a chance to celebrate with their heroines on Monday with an event at Trafalgar Square. Up to 7,000 supporters will be able to attend the event, which is free, on a first-come-first-served basis, beginning at 11am. There will be a Q&A before the team lift the trophy.

Is the parade on TV?

For those who can't get to central London - or who don't make the 7,000 cut - the action will be shown live on the BBC from 12.40pm. Alex Scott will host the coverage, which is expected to end at around 2pm after the Lionesses have further shared their victory with the fans.

What has been said?

Football Association chief executive Mark Bullingham said: “This is an iconic moment for English football and everyone is so proud of the players, Sarina and the support team. They’ve captured the nation’s hearts and it is an achievement that will be remembered forever. It has been an honour to host the tournament in England and the fans have been so important during the team’s journey to success this summer, so it’s only right that they can celebrate this historic victory together at Trafalgar Square.”

Sadiq Khan, the Major of London, added: “The atmosphere at Wembley and across the country throughout the tournament has been a fantastic advert for women’s football. Nearly 600,000 tickets were sold for the matches and more than nine million people tuned in to watch England play.

"The Women’s Euro 2022 will have inspired a new generation of women footballers and I hope this paves the way for better access to football for girls in school, more investment in grassroots girls and women’s football and much more support for girls and women in all sports.

“I would like to thank Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses for treating us to an amazing summer of football. I can’t wait to see them lift the trophy again as they celebrate with the fans on Trafalgar Square on Monday.”

Wiegman was appointed to succeed Phil Neville back in August 2020. He had led England to the semi-final of the World Cup in France three years ago, but the new woman at the helm, who has achieved tournament success previously with the Netherlands, managed to break new ground with the Lionesses.
