Ajax fans warmed up for their Europa League semi-final tie by singing along with a delighted busker on the streets of Lyon.

The Dutch fans were in good voice as they showered the bearded musician with money as he strummed on a guitar.

They sang a rendition of Bob Marley's famous hit Three Little Birds as they merrily drank beer and danced outside a bar in the French city.

Twitter user @SpiggyTope explained: "Started with a few of them giving up their change and the whole entourage romped up to support! Amazing set of fans."
