Leah Williamson’s Newport Pagnell mural updated after Euros win

A mural depicting Leah Williamson in her hometown has been updated to celebrate England’s Euro 2025 victory.

Street art company MurWalls painted the tribute to the England captain at Farm Garages in 2022, after the Lionesses previously won the tournament, in her hometown of Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire.

They have now added the words “history maker”, “double European champion” and “so nice she lifted it twice” to the mural.

The MurWalls artist who updated the work, known as Mr Meana, said: “The first England captain to lift a major trophy twice, and to do it overseas, kind of speaks for itself really.”

MurWalls has been hired to paint murals of other lionesses such as Alessia Russo, Lauren James, Mary Earps, Millie Bright, and Chloe Kelly.

They also installed a large portrait of Elton John on the side of his beloved Vicarage Road in Watford.

Talking about the portrait in Newport Pagnell, Mr Meana said: “Everybody’s just shown it love, everybody’s really appreciated it.

“Just talking to the local people, you hear how much it means to them and how much she means to them, and it’s just a beautiful thing to be a part of.”
