'You're an inspiration to the younger generation' - Londoners' heartfelt messages for the Lionesses

England's Lionesses have done it again. They have retained their UEFA Women's Euro title, defeating Spain 3-1 on the penalties in a dramatic final in Switzerland after a 1-0 draw.

Chloe Kelly buried the winning spot kick and goalkeeper Hannah Hampton made crucial saves as well.

This marks the first time any England football team has defended a major trophy on the senior side and lifted it on foreign soil as well.

Yesterday (29th July) the Lionesses celebrated their victorious win against Spain with an open-top bus parade along The Mall - and the atmosphere was electric!

There was music playing in the background, and helicopters circled overhead. Fans were decked out in their England flags and face paints, ready to celebrate the England Women’s team.

And these women, these Lionesses have well and truly captured the hearts of the nation. To win not once but twice you can see the inspiration amongst the fans beaming from their faces.
