    It's finally here.

    Less than two hours and counting before Wales make a first appearance at a major tournament since 1958.

    Many a tear has been shed since then after countless near misses and disappointments.

    But Saturday 11 June 2016 is a day of national celebration - and Chris Coleman, Gareth Bale and Co are determined it does not fall flat.

    The bunting is out in Bangor while Barry is getting ready to cheer Bale.

    From Cardiff to Colwyn Bay and Welshpool to Wrexham, they've been waiting for this moment since World Cup elimination 57 years, 11 months and 23 days ago.

    Wales are back on the big tournament stage. And the Euro 2016 party is about to get a whole lot more louder.
