A record-breaking peak of 17.4million people watched the game on BBC One at home – along with more than 87,000 people inside the stadium – as Sarina Wiegman’s side claimed the victory after a tense 30 minutes of extra time.

Goals from Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly sealed the Lionesses’ win, and celebrations rightly continued into the night across the nation as fans of all ages celebrated football coming home.

England’s Beth Mead also won the Golden Boot AND was named Player of the Tournament in an incredible night for the women’s game.

Families across the North East were full of pride for the England’s Women’s team, sharing their congratulations and support in a series of euphoric messages after the final whistle confirmed history.

As we celebrated as one proud country, here’s what you had to say on social media:

Joanie Malone: “Fantastic, a great game, a deserved win. Congratulations to the team and above all, their marvellous manager. Onward girls.”

Alex Bos: “A statue for Wiegman!”
