England’s Lionesses winning the UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Championships has been voted the greatest sporting moment of all time, according to a new poll of Brits.
Sarina Wiegman's side beat old rivals Germany 2-1 in the final to spark jubilant scenes around the country.
A poll conducted by Sportsbreaks.com sees that triumph top the list, with Andy Murray's triumph at Wimbledon in 2013 coming second.
The Brit beat Novak Djokovic in the final that year, 12 months after he'd been beaten by Roger Federer at the same stage.

Coming in third is Liverpool's stunning Champions League final win from 2005.
The Reds found themselves 3-0 down at half time after a brace from Hernan Crespo and strike from Paulo Maldini.
But Liverpool then came roaring back to draw level and ended up winning on penalties, with goalkeeper Jerzey Dudek the hero.
Next on the poll is Mo Farah's 10,000 metres gold medal at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Great Britain won three gold medals in 45 minutes, with Sarah Jessica-Ennis and Greg Rutherford also reigning supreme.
A spokesperson for Sportsbreaks.com said: “The best thing about sport is its ability to move us.
"The Lionesses touched the hearts of the whole nation when they brought football home last summer, so it’s no surprise to see their heroics voted the greatest sporting moment of all time. "We’re lucky to be living in an era where watching incredible sport is more accessible than ever, and with the
Women’s World Cup, Rugby World Cup and Ryder Cup all on the horizon, it’s shaping up to be a huge summer of sport where more history will be made.”
Manchester United's last-minute win against Bayern Munich in the 1999 Champions League final also makes the list.
And so too does Lionel Messi propelling Argentina to World Cup glory in Qatar last year.
England's own World Cup triumph from 1966 ranks eighth.
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean's interpretation of Ravel’s Bolero in the 1984 Winter Olympics picked up 13 per cent of the votes.
That's the same number as Jonny Wilkinson's dramatic last minute drop kick, with England winning the Rugby World Cup back in 2003.
And Lewis Hamilton's 2020 F1 title triumph sits 10th.
Meanwhile, England's Lionesses are hoping to win the women's World Cup this summer.
They've made a positive start to the tournament, beating Haiti 1-0 last week.
And Wiegman, speaking ahead of England's clash with Denmark on Friday, has insisted she isn't afraid to make changes as the European champions strive for more glory.
“If I’m more likely to make changes, it doesn’t have anything to do with that," she said when asked about being ruthless.
"It’s because I want to make changes.

“What we do is approach every game and then, when we prepare, we see who is fit and available.
"Then, we’ll make the decisions on what we need to start with and decide if we’re going to start with the same XI or maybe make some changes.”
She added: “Every game is important - you could go to the World Cup and win it by winning one-nil all the time or drawing and winning on penalties.
"Performances mean a lot to us but results are important too.
“It’s not always about scoring seven goals. If you have enough to win the game, that’s important."
