Ashes victory celebration, London: 13 September 2005

England's cricketers were given a rapturous reception at a victory parade in Trafalgar Square after reclaiming the Ashes from Australia for the first time since 1987 after drawing the final Test at The Oval. England's women's team were also part of the parade, following their own Ashes triumph in August.

Nothing like a sports victory to unite people in celebration. You captured that "feeling" very well in these photos.

Nice gallery, Rose - I would have been there myself if I'd still been working round the corner (and not at home with the kids!). Bet the atmosphere was great!
