Wales Fans: One Night in Lille

As the Welsh National Team prepare to take on Belgium in their EURO 2016 Quarter Final in Lille, the fans have made themselves at home. Setting our camera to party mode, we landed front and centre as the streets filled up 24 hours before kick off.

Scenes. As ever the word to describe the emphatic nature by which fans have brought serious zest to the celebrations at EURO 2016. This night was no different. An eve on which Welsh fans joined forces with Belgian fans to simply celebrate. No angst or bitter rivalry, more an embracing of a moment, a time capsuled treasure.

Some description

Staking claim and setting up a home across bars in the centre of Lille, this is just one stopping point that has seen Welsh fans journey all over France. Polo shirt, to home and away kits, right through to retro, there's so much support on show with red and green the underlining leaders on and off the pitch.

Some description

Who knows which way the fixture will flow. It'll undoubtedly be a loud one with 100,000 Belgian fans expected to make the short trip across the border. One way or another, one set of fans will be going back to work, both though with memories of a summer well spent. Game on.

Don some quarter final colour, here.
