Need help with getting filenames from url strings

I've been trying to figure out how to extract filenames (with extensions) from a variable that contains a series of URL strings that won't necessarily be the same length or contain the same number of paths as part of a bash shell script. For example

Code:

#!/bin/bash

URLS="http://www.domain.com/folder/filename.tar.gz http://www.anotherdomain.com/folder/subfolder/file.tar.gz"

for url in ${URLS}
do
  echo $url
done
exit 0

This outputs each of the URLs in turn, which is fine, but I'd need to be able to output just the filename and extension (eg. filename.tar.gz or file.tar.gz) - everything after the last forward slash but I haven't had any luck in getting anything close to working. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
