A flash mob of fans sing Calon Lan on the street in Nice ahead of Wales clash with Portugal.

Wales fans following the team at the Rugby World Cup treated Nice to a rendition of the hymn Calon Lan ahead of the match against Portugal.

The singers performed for a crowd of onlookers in cafes and pubs near the Stade de Nice.

Calon Lan, which was written in the 1890s by Daniel James, means “pure heart” in Welsh.
