The Lions ended 16 years of hurt with a mind-blowing 41-16 victory over Australia in Sydney on Saturday night and Warren Gatland's charges wasted no time in celebrating their historic triumph - and tweeting about it.

And with the Lions not set to fly out of Sydney until Tuesday, get ready for a feast of fun and frolics...
