Plans are in place if England beat Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday.
If they do beat Spain and win Euro 2024, then we can expect a historic victory parade for the Three Lions as they celebrate their first major trophy since 1966.
England booked their place in this summer’s showpiece finale with a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in Dortmund.
Spain will no doubt prove their biggest test to date but if England go on and secure victory, what can we expect from the much-anticipated victory parade?
Well, government officials were initially discussing the possibility of hosting the parade at Wembley Stadium instead of Trafalgar Square, according to a report from FourFourTwo.

However, those plans have been scrapped after it emerged that policing costs would be much higher than anticipated away from central London.
At the the time of writing, it is unclear whether the England squad would head through London’s city centre as part of an open-top bus parade, or whether they would stay put in Trafalgar Square.
But historically, Trafalgar Square has been used as the venue for sporting celebrations, with the England’s women’s team using the location to celebrate their Euro 2022 win under Sarina Wiegman.
After their Euro 2022 win over Germany, supporters were handed free entry on a first-come-first-served basis from 11am as live music and tournament highlights were shown on big screens.
Wiegman and the England team eventually took to the stage for a Q&A and trophy lift. The event was also broadcast live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 12.40pm onwards.

England, meanwhile, could reportedly be handed a huge advantage ahead of their Euro 2024 final clash.
As reported by The Sun, it is expected that England could have more fans supporting them inside the stadium compared to Spain.
The report stated: “England could have nearly 50,000 supporters backing them in the 71,000-capacity Olympiastadion.
“As fans scramble to try and secure their ticket for the showdown with Spain, early reports are suggesting that the Three Lions fans may outnumber their rivals two to one.”
Prior to the match, it is believed that the English Football Association and the Royal Spanish Football Federation were given an official allocation of 10,000 each for the clash.
