Sam Fender and his band join Newcastle United fans for mass Geordie party in Trafalgar Square

Sam Fender and his bandmates joined the epic party going on in London on Saturday night as Newcastle United fans took over Trafalgar Square, resulting in amazing scenes in the capital.

Train loads of NUFC fans made their way south on Saturday morning, from both Newcastle and Sunderland's main stations, in time for United's Carabao Cup final clash with Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday. But, before kick off almost 24 hours later, there was plenty of singing to be done, with thousands of supporters heading to the landmark to get in the spirit nice and early.

As the sun set on Saturday evening, social media started to be filled with photos and videos of the sea of black and white surrounding the Square's famous fountain and, having uploaded of a video en route to join the party on his Instagram a few hours earlier, Seventeen Going Under star Sam returned to his Insta story with a video of his saxophone player Johnny Blue Hat performing a impromptu version of Hey Jude, to the delight of everyone there.
