Plant ID - I bought a Helianthus

I thought I bought a Helianthus Lemon Queen - these are growing and putting on a lovely show (about 6ft) but I'd like to know what they are as I don't think they are Lemon Queen
Thank you

    Rudbeckia herbstomme.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border

    Thank you punkdoc for the super quick ID. 
    They really are lovely and if they are rudbeckia I am guessing the clumps will increase in size

    Yes, they quickly clump up, and are very easily divided.  I've read that they are sterile and don't need deadheading, but we do it anyway.  Ours get to about 7ft, which is slightly too big for our borders, but what's not to love about them.

    Keen on Green,  luckily they are against our fence (I don't usually get that right and it was pure luck) . I am really enjoying them this sunny morning
