England's hungover "Lionesses" held a victory party in central London on Monday in front of thousands of jubilant fans after they clinched the country's first major football trophy since 1966.

A capacity crowd of 7,000 supporters packed into Trafalgar Square to give the women's team a rapturous reception as they paraded the European championship trophy, following their 2-1 win over Germany.

"We said we wanted to make our legacy about winning and that's what we did," England captain Leah Williamson told the flag-waving crowd in Trafalgar Square.
