POLICE in Frankfurt have hailed the good nature of England fans at the Euros, and said they are most "willkommen" in the city.

But they warned of a mindless few who risk spoiling things if they do not behave when they visit for the Denmark game on Thursday.

Frankfurt police spokesman Marcus Heide said: "The vast majority of English fans are known for being open and spreading a positive atmosphere. We ask them to help ensure everyone adheres to the rules of being together.

"This will ensure that we all experience an unforgettable time together."

It came after an outbreak of trouble in Gelsenkirchen on Sunday, when some fans clashed with Serbian rivals before the match.

Supporters were also warned about singing Ten German Bombers, after some were filmed chanting in Dusseldorf.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak urged them to stop and instead sing "Hey Jude" in honour of Jude Bellingham, who scored in the 1-0 victory over Serbia. Mr Sunak backed England boss Gareth Southgate's appeal for fans not to sing about the Second World War.
