The self-styled Rocket Man chose our town more than twenty years ago when he was coming up with a video for his 1995 song Made In England.

The single, an ode to England and all things English, features brief glimpses of Doncaster Minster and Hyde Park - where video makers filmed two elderly women gossiping over a wall in Elmfield Road as well as capturing the pair dancing in the street for the song.

The video also shows Sir Elton's face super-imposed onto a former Doncaster town centre pub entitled The Queen - a cheeky nod to the star's sexuality.

The pub, on the corner of Sunny Bar and the Market Place, later became a Polish restaurant and bar.

See if you can spot Donny in the video for the song which reached number 18 more than 21 years ago.
