Shocking footage shows the moment a fire ripped through Amsterdam's historic Vondelkerk church during New Year's Eve celebrations. 

The 19th Century church, built in 1880 near the Dutch capital's famous Vondelpark, caught fire around 12.45am. 

The tower collapsed just after 1am and there were fears of the fire spreading to other buildings, according to local reports.  

Dozens of nearby homes were evacuated as smoke and falling debris caused a risk to the safety to residents.

James Pearson, 39, who captured the footage of the fire, was celebrating the new year with friends when the fire broke out.
