That’s what the prime minister promised. “That’s not a bank holiday, but there is a Downing Street reception today. There’ll be the Victory Parade tomorrow. “I’m afraid I can’t announce a bank holiday, but there should be a celebration to mark this brilliant achievement.”The Downing Street reception today is due to be hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock.The team will then attend a homecoming celebration event on Tuesday, with a ceremony expected to take place outside Buckingham Palace.The Prime Minister has previously pushed for a bank holiday to celebrate the Lionesses’ achievements.Ahead of their loss to Spain in the World Cup final two years ago, Sir Keir Starmer backed a day of celebration.Writing on X at the time, he said: “It’s almost 60 years since England won the World Cup.“I’m never complacent about anything… but there should be a celebratory bank holiday if the Lionesses bring it home.”Mr Reynolds added: “It’s a magnificent achievement and it was just a privilege to watch. “I think this team handles the big tournament pressure better than any England team I’ve ever seen. “I mean, there were some tough moments, but they really came through.”England fell behind to a goal by Mariona Caldentey in the 25th minute, but Alessia Russo scored a stunning equaliser after half time.Chloe Kelly delivered the perfect cross to Russo in the box, who brilliantly headed it into the side-netting.The teams battled it out in 30 minutes of extra time before England’s Kelly scored the winning goal in penalties.The match took place in Basel, Switzerland, at the massive St Jakob-Park stadium and just over 34,000 fans are in attendance.Sir Keir and The Prince of Wales watched on from the stands in Basel, while an estimated 16 million Brits supported from home.The Prime Minister hailed the team’s triumph, saying: “The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation.“Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country.“It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team.”Supporters stood on tables, waved flags, threw drinks in the air and excitedly hugged each other as England claimed victory.The FA confirmed there will be an open-top bus parade along the Mall before the ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial.Fans can attend for free and it will be broadcast live on BBC, ITV, and Sky.Manager Sarina Wiegman ran on to the pitch punching the air as she joined the mass of players and staff mobbing Kelly.The Arsenal ace was in tears as she joined thousands of delighted fans singing Sweet Caroline.Moments later, Kelly said: “I am so proud of this team. So grateful to wear this badge. So proud to be English. I was cool, I was composed.“I knew I was going to hit the back of the net. Unbelievable. All the staff and Sarina Wiegman — she has done it again! Unbelievable.“It is going to be crazy. I hope the whole of England comes out to support us and shows their love to these girls as they deserve it.”AFPEngland forward Agnes Beever-Jones celebrates with the trophy[/caption]
