The town centre's pubs and and bars have been packed out and jubilant fans have celebrated with smoke bombs and flares and dancing on top of bus shelters after matches.

Police have appealed for restraint and calm tonight as England bid to reach their very first World Cup final since their sole victory in 1966.

Victory will see Gareth Southgate's side set up a final with France in Moscow on Sunday.

But Doncaster Council has said even if England reach the final, the match will not be shown on a big screen or in a fan zone park over fears of potential disorder.

6,000 fans are expected to pack into Sheffield city centre tonight with the game being shown on a 46m screen in a fan park at Devonshire Green.
