Thousands of fans welcome Wales team home in Cardiff

The Wales football team have received a hero’s welcome in Cardiff after their historic run at Euro 2016.
They touched down at Cardiff Airport just after 14:30 BST before boarding an open-top bus at Cardiff Castle.
Tens of thousands of fans lined the route to Cardiff City Stadium, where the team played their qualifying matches.
The Manic Street Preachers played to 33,000 people, before the players came out onto the pitch.
They re-lived their run to the semi-final in the tournament and took part in a question and answer session.

Proud Wales manager Chris Coleman said: “They didn’t want to let their country down and they certainly didn’t.”
Speaking earlier in the day, Coleman said: “This is what it’s all about, this is why the players work so hard to represent their country.
“They knew there was a nation waiting for them.”
