A World Cup big screen and fan zone will go ahead at Lincoln Castle after organisers were given the green light.
England’s debatably unexpected success so far in the competition has had event organisers scrambling to give people in Lincoln the perfect place to enjoy the semi-final against Croatia.

Organisers have said that in the event of a final, attendees of the semi final game will be given the first chance to secure tickets.
Ben Atkins, one of the event organisers, said: “The castle is a brilliant venue and were only too happy to make this possible once our Friday afternoon idea snowballed into a reality.
“Lincoln Castle should be a space that’s enjoyed on a regular basis by all of us that live in and around Lincoln and there’s no better occasion for the city to come together. The reaction online has been unprecedented, and we’ve been working flat out to bring the dream alive!”
He added: “Public safety is paramount and we would urge all ticket holder to pay close attention to the terms and conditions of entry, and our alcohol policy”
