Where and when to watch England Euro 2022 victory celebrations and what time will Lionesses appear?

Thousands of fans will be able to celebrate England’s Euros win with the Lionesses themselves at a central London event today.

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

The Monday event has been organised by the Greater London Authority, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Westminster Council.

England's 56-year wait for silverware on the international stage ended after the Lionesses defeated Germany 2-1 in the Wembley Stadium final on Sunday.

Goals from Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly brought a major trophy home for the first time since 1966 in front of a record breaking crowd of over 87,000 people.

Scores of people watched the England game from the square on Sunday night, with several celebrating in the fountains after the team secured victory over Germany after extra time.

But where is the England victory event taking place today, and how can fans attend?

Where is the event being held and what time is it on?

The victory celebration will be held in London's Trafalgar Square at 11am on Monday (1 August).

It is expected to end at 2pm.

How can I attend?

Up to 7,000 fans will be able to gain free entry to the event on a first-come, first-served basis.

Fans will be able to enjoy live music from DJ Monki, while screens show a selection of tournament highlights.

How can I watch if I can't attend in person?

If you aren't able to attend the event in person, or there is more demand than available space, the event will be broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 12.40pm.

Who will be there?

The event will be hosted by former Lioness and commentator Alex Scott, and will include all of the team's players taking part in a Q&A session before they lift the trophy once more.

The team's manager, Sarina Wiegman, who guided Holland to continental success back in 2017 and the World Cup final in 2019, will also be there to celebrate with fans.

FA chief executive Mark Bullingham said the players had “captured the nation’s hearts” and their Euro 2022 win would be “remembered forever."

"This is an iconic moment for English football and everyone is so proud of the players, Sarina and the support team," he said.

“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.”

Players went on to gate-crash boss Wiegman’s post-match press conference singing ‘It’s Coming Home’ as they celebrated their win.

Wiegman was in the middle of her press conference when her squad burst into the room, singing and dancing around the top table.

Goalkeeper Mary Earps even climbed on top of the table to continue dancing as the celebrations looked set to continue late into the evening.

Wiegman said: “I think what we’ve done is really incredible. I don’t think I’ve really realised what we’ve done, because I’ve not followed everything, but we know all of England is behind us.

“We have had so much support from our fans and I’m so proud of the team, the players and the staff.

“I will need a couple of days to realise what we have done.

“It was two teams who really wanted to win the game and that’s what made it so tight.

“Their togetherness was really strong too, so we had a hard time to play our game, but at the end we were really eager to score a goal.

“We have showed the quality of this team and the depth too. I’m not sure if that’s the reason but we scored a goal.

“When I took the job you hope one thing, but we knew there was quality and such big potential in this country. You hope things will work out.

“That was one of my personal challenges. My challenge was to bring people together from another country and it worked out. It’s something you dream of and hope for.”

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, congratulated the team for displaying “extraordinary talent and determination throughout the tournament” and said he “can’t wait” to see them lift the trophy again in Trafalgar Square.

He added: “They’ve broken records, and now they’ve made history.

“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.”
