"Robbie the bobby" meets fans in Frankfurt

 

British uniformed police have begun patrolling Frankfurt, ahead of England's opening World Cup match.

 

Shouts of "Bobby, bobby, give us a song!" rang out across Frankfurt's main square.

 

A group of Ipswich fans enjoying the German lager had spotted an unusual sight for Romerplatz - two uniformed British police officers.

 

Entering into the spirit of the occasion, one of the officers known as "Robbie the bobby" gave a cheerful retort.

 

"We've won it five times. We've won it five times!" he sang as he approached their table, in reference to Liverpool's European trophies.
