The star of Saturday's final, Jonny Wilkinson, said he was 'over-awed' by the reception.



Terminal four was jam-packed by 4am, and there was chaos on approach roads as fans abandoned cars and dashed to catch a glimpse of their returning heroes.



Just before 5 this morning - the victorious England team emerged from a plane renamed Sweet Chariot in their honour - and brought the Webb Ellis Cup and their exhausted bodies into a reception they simply hadn't expected.



Thousands of fans turned up before dawn - all in good voice - to welcome the rarest of sporting heroes - men who'd finally beaten Australia at something - restoring English faith in winning - and giving the nation a lift at the same time.



And the man of the moment - his name of everybody's lips - bemused and wary - his life will surely never be the same again.



For the whole team though - a moment to savour - as they headed through the darkness and the throngs of fans - not going home yet though - first a press conference in a Surrey hotel.



Jonny Wilkinson clearly stating his desire not to become rugby's answer to David Beckham.



The scrum of cameras pointing right at him told a different story. The team though isn't getting carried away with their newfound fame.



Some of the team obviously hadn't appreciated they'd left the Australian sunshine behind - or perhaps they were too busy living it up on the plane home to get changed.



The euphoria should last longer than their time off - many of these players have to report for work tomorrow at their clubs.
