England will get a huge open-top bus parade in London's Trafalgar Square if they win Euro 2024 final – here’s what we know so far

This Sunday (July 14), the England men’s team will have a second crack at winning the Euros. Having beaten the Netherlands in the semi-final, the Three Lions will take on Spain in the final of Euro 2024, and it’s going to be a night full of tense nail biting, euphoric cheering and probably tears (we hope from Spain). 

We don’t want to jinx it, but what happens if England actually win? Prime Minister Keir Starmer has already hinted at a potential bank holiday to celebrate England if we become champions, and what about a homecoming parade? Here’s what we know so far.
