The Welsh football team have arrived home safe and sound and to a heroes’ welcome after they surpassed all expectations and won the hearts of not just their own nation, but many others during their games which took them to the semi-final of Euro 2016. The streets of Cardiff were lined with tens of thousands of proud fans who waited patiently for hours in order to catch a glimpse of the team who have come closer than any British team before them to reach a tournament final in the last half a century.

A Heroes’ Welcome

The team appeared through the gates of the famous Cardiff Castle, where they signed autographs and posed for photographs and selfies with fans before taking part in the traditional open-bus parade which ended at many of the players’ home stadium, Cardiff City.
