The Welsh Dragon roared at Euro 2016 as Chris Coleman's side battled their way to the semi finals in their first championships for half a century.
Diligent, dazzling and durable, Gareth Bale and co won acclaim across the board with their heroics - even in their eventual defeat to Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.

Incredible scenes with the French fans...
