England's European Championship Heroes Visit Downing Street

England's winning streak has begun after the European Championship victory over Spain in Switzerland. Since the team landed on British soil – and was met by the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Sports in Westminster – they arrived at 10 Downing Street on Monday evening.

The people on site were very nice, they had put up pictures of what we had done during the European Championship, said England's coach, Dutch Sarina Wiegman to Sky Sports, and commented on the rumors that she will be awarded with the honorary award "honorary damehood”.

I have not thought about it. I have so much respect for England, the royal family too.

The national team has not only won two European Championship gold medals in a row, they have also become the first English squad to win a football championship outside the UK.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer commented on the successes:

The Lionesses have once again captured the nation's hearts, he said.
