On Tuesday, the national team has received the people's accolades during a bus tour through the British capital. Flag-waving fans have seen their heroes lift the European Championship trophy time and time again. Pink fireworks also accompanied the celebration when the bus tour reached Buckingham Palace.

However, there was no physical reception from Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer has been busy with the USA's Donald Trump who has been visiting Scotland.

But Starmer video-called the Dutch national team captain Sarina Wiegman.

England won the European Championship final against Spain on penalties and thus defended their European Championship title from 2022.
