And that is that from us for the night.
It's not a dream. Wales - you are going to the Euros...
Plan your evening around this lot:
Armenia v Albania - 17:00
Serbia v Portugal - 17:00
Faroe Islands v Romania - 17:00
Finland v Northern Ireland - 17:00
Greece v Hungary - 17:00
Germany v Georgia - 19:45
Gibraltar v Scotland - 19:45
Poland v Republic of Ireland - 19:45
There are still 12 spots at Euro 2016 up for grabs.
Tomorrow Germany can secure their place with a point at home to Georgia, while either Poland or Republic of Ireland will join them.
Romania or Hungary will join Northern Ireland too.

The Waterloo Gunner: The biggest party must be in the changing room itself... I can only imagine the champaigne spraying everywhere
WALES QUALIFY
PA journalist Phil Blanche: "You start to think it's never going to happen for Wales. It can be so disheartening and soul-destroying.
"But this group have finally done it, and they deserve immense credit. The key for me has been the team unity. They are more than just team-mates, they are friends who have come through youth teams together."

Well done Wales. Made Gary Speed proud, I hope he's looking down on his legacy
Andrew Ross
So delighted for Wales after all the heartache. The irony of qualifying after defeat!
Martin, Abergavenny
Some top class comments coming in from you tonight. Where's the best party in Wales right now? Or elsewhere?
#bbcfootball
Rishi Verma: Any football fan who witnessed the near-misses of 1985, 1993 and 2003 cannot help but admire and celebrate Wales' qualification
Andrew Girvan: Congratulations Wales! I will see you in France next year! It's great to see the passion in these home nation sides
Roger Speed, father of former Wales captain and manager Gary:
"Watching this team has given me so much pleasure and Chris Coleman deserves a huge amount of credit for what he's achieved. It was so difficult for him to follow Gary but he's done a great job. The spirit in the side is something very special.
"Like a few of the players have already mentioned, qualification is a fitting tribute to what Gary put in place with this group of players. There's no doubt he would be immensely proud of their success. I know he's been watching from above and cheering the team on. I'd like to think he's been an inspiration."

I know this won't get posted, but there are constant goosebumps of pride I keep getting, wave after wave, as Wales have been confirmed guests at France 2016. Forget tonight's result, unlike Scotland, Wales did the hard work so matches like these weren't crucial, I take my hat off to Wales.
Nick, a humble English man,from Burnley.
Chris Coleman, Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey and all ..... thank you for making a dream come true for the nation.

WALES QUALIFY
Chris Coleman tells Sky Sports: "When we come off losing 2-0 I thought we would have to go again but our secretary gave us the Israel result and it was complete elation.
"It is a dream come true. All the players from my generation, and generations before, nearly got there and it was really tough. But this group have gone that extra yard.
"They deserve everything they have got. From the first game to tonight they have given me their all.
"When I took the job I was in a sticky situation. Gary Speed was such a great man and a great presence that I wanted to carry on his work. But I couldn't.
"So I decided to do my own thing and it has been a fantastic campaign. Gary Speed played his part and I'm sure he is smiling tonight."

Joel Ejike: What a way to do it! Not according to the script but history won't remember this defeat. Welsh football on the rise
WALES QUALIFY
Wales captain Ashley Williams, speaking to Sky Sports: "I said at the start of the campaign that qualifying would be my proudest moment and it definitely is.
"Because the game was how it was it’ll take a bit of time to sink in, but everyone is over the moon.
"We always had belief from the start but we knew it would be a lot of hard work.We didn't manage to do it in front of our home fans but when we go home now we’ll hopefully win that game and have a nice night after it."
