The Lionesses have shown their pride as they today celebrated reaching their first World Cup final, and England's first in nearly 60 years, with their friends and family who supported them - as the boyfriend of goalscorer Ella Toone lead roaring fans partying into the night. The team kicked off their victory lap by dancing to Sweet Caroline after the final whistle - but there were only soft drinks in sight with one more step to go on the road to glory following their historic 3-1 win over old rivals, Australia. The footballers and their families posted celebratory snaps on Instagram, including Stalybridge Celtic player Joe Bunney, the boyfriend of Lioness Ella Toone, who scored the stunning 36 minute opening goal for England.
