“We are very grateful for any donations and support you can offer.  If the insurance company pays for the repairs, all monies raised will be donated to the Local Ambulance Service whose vehicle has sustained this damage.”

The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation after images emerged of fans jumping on top of an ambulance car that had been left parked in Borough High Street.

The Three Lions booked their place in the World Cup Semi-Final for the first time since Italia 90, thanks to two headed goals from Harry Maguire and Dele Alli.

Fans were pictured on top of an ambulance leading to it being smashed and unable to be used on shift.

In a statement, the London Ambulance Service said: “We’re delighted with the result, but this has put a big dampener on the celebrations for us.

"While our officer attended a call nearby, this car was damaged in Borough High Street during the celebrations after the game – it’s now off the road to be repaired.”

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police confirmed an investigation is taking place.
