The Duke of Cambridge was seen wildly celebrating alongside John Carew as Aston Villa secured promotion back to the Premier League in the Championship Play-Off Final.

Villa were taking on the Rams at Wembley in the most lucrative match in world football - with £180 million at stake.

Prince William and the former Villa striker erupted in celebration after a goal from Anwar ElGhazi gave the Midlanders the lead.

The pair were seen embracing as Villa went into half time in front.
