Belle, from Bromley, Kent, joined 60,000 fans to see Gareth Southgate’s men lose on penalties to Italy after the game ended 1-1.

She said: “I’ll never forget this night. 

“I can’t believe it’s all happened because Mason Mount kindly gave me his shirt.

“I’m over the moon to be here. We all are.”

Tommy   said: “It’s our   first match   together. So   memorable.”
