Stay with us, this story is not done yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chloe Kelly, who scored England&#8217;s winning goal at 2022 and the decisive penalty in Sunday&#8217;s shootout, said: &#8220;Pressure, what pressure?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 27-year-old Arsenal forward described how special the team&#8217;s support has been at home and at the Euros in Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added: &#8220;[It is] so good to stand side by side with every single one of these girls throughout the whole tournament, and the staff that you don&#8217;t see behind the scenes. It&#8217;s incredible.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Princess Beatrice of York attended the parade and there was a surprise for England coach Sarina Wiegman as her favourite singer Burna Boy joined the squad on stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dutchwoman then sang and danced along as the Nigerian sang his hit For My Hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, Sarina&#8217;s got rhythm,&#8221; Washington Spirit defender Esme Morgan told BBC Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She absolutely loves Burna Boy. I can&#8217;t believe it. Her face when they brought Burna Boy out was a picture. None of us could believe it to be honest and, yeah, she was busting out some moves and singing away, so that was a special moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Football Association (FA) said at least 65,000 people attended the parade and Morgan added: &#8220;A few of us said the other day &#8216;we hope the parade is not the full length of The Mall because there might not be enough people to fill it&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We were like &#8216;what if that happens?&#8217; &#8211; but we showed up today and it was absolutely packed, I can&#8217;t believe it. You don&#8217;t realise the scale of how many people watch and support us, and yeah, we feel so lucky.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FA chief executive Mark Bullingham told BBC Radio 5 Live: &#8220;It was funny, the players kept asking us &#8216;do you think people will really come?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;And we were like &#8216;yeah, they definitely will come&#8217;.
