Thumbs up


Tens of thousands of fans are expected to pack the streets of London on Tuesday to cheer the England cricket team after their stunning Ashes win.

Captain Michael Vaughan and his team will celebrate in an open-topped bus before a ceremony in Trafalgar Square.

The team will end the day at Lord's where they will ceremonially hand over the Ashes urn for safe-keeping.

England beat Australia in a series for the first time since 1987 after drawing Monday's final Test at The Oval.

The team were given a rapturous reception by crowds when they left their team hotel to head to Mansion House, where the victory parade will begin at 1100 BST.

Reflecting on the momentous victory and the reaction of the public, Vaughan told BBC Sport: "It's amazing to see the front pages and hear people's responses.

"The most pleasing aspect is that we have made a lot of people very happy. Emotions really ebbed and flowed throughout the summer but we were a young side that seemed to show no fear."


Millions have been gripped by Ashes fever as England finally overcame Australia on Monday in one of the tightest and most dramatic Test series in living memory.

And given a crowd of 750,000 gathered in London to welcome home England's Rugby World Cup-winning side 18 months ago, similar numbers may turn out to salute the cricketers.

England's victorious women's team will also be part of the parade and celebrations, following their own Ashes triumph over Australia's women last month.
