Should England get an open-bus parade? Is the extra bank holiday dream over? Are plans already underway to recognise the Lionesses’ efforts? Our Arts Correspondent Robert Dex explains why the celebration should be about much more than just England’s performances throughout the World Cup, and describes what an appropriate celebration would look like. In this episode:


  • Will the royals & government want to provide a hero’s welcome for the Lionesses?
  • Should they be allowed an open-top bus parade?
  • Will England get a good reception when they land in the UK?
  • Why the squad deserve ‘some form of celebration’
  • Will this team’s legacy last?
  • What needs to happen to elevate the women’s game even further
