Leah Williamson promised England supporters the "story is not done yet" as 65,000 fans packed on to the Mall to celebrate the Lionesses' successful defence of their European crown.

The captain and her teammates partied with stars including the soul singer Heather Small and Burna Boy - who danced on stage with the head coach, Sarina Wiegman - two days after they defeated Spain in Basel to become the first senior England football team to win a major trophy on foreign soil.

After an open-top bus parade down the Mall, Williamson was visibly moved by the sheer size of the crowd in attendance outside Buckingham Palace. "I'm in the trenches, I'm holding back tears," she said. "I've been crying all the way down the Mall. This is unbelievable. Thank you for coming out.

"My message is, everything we do, obviously we do it for us and our team, but we do it for the country, and we do it for young girls. This job never existed 30, 40 years ago and we're making history every single step. Thank you so much for being with us. Stay with us, this story is not done yet."
