Internal link from another page

I have a page that contains a link to a second page. However what I want to happen is that when the link is clicked the user goes to the second page which then moves them down to the specified section so my code is like this:

First page

<p>some text and <a href="https://domainname.com/second-page#internaldestination">a link goes here</a></p>

Second page

Some content goes here <div id="internaldestination">more content</div>

WordPress goes to the second page but isn;t moving down to #internaldestination and the URL ends up like so:

https://domainname.com/second-page/#internaldestination

Any advice much appreciated
