When three football fans went to a World Cup game to cheer on England at Boston Stadium, they took inspiration from their national team's iconic emblem.
Charlie, Alfie and Ernie, from Buxton in Derbyshire, dressed as three lions in homage to the Three Lions badge worn on England jerseys for more than 150 years.
Their furry attire brought the 17-year-olds plenty of attention, leading to appearances alongside American journalists and on BBC's The One Show.
Despite England's goalless draw with Ghana, the trio enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame.
The teenagers posed for about 70 photos in the stadium and were stopped by five different American news reporters, which meant it took a long time for them to get to their seats.
