Williamson is the first England captain to lift a major trophy since Bobby Moore in 1966.

The Lionesses' win was the perfect end to a historic tournament, where the overall attendance over the three-and-a-half weeks has more than doubled that of previous years.

Another record was broken today as a crowd of 87,192 took to Wembley - the highest attendance of a final in any UEFA competition ever.
