A look back on Irish fans partying at Euro 2016 in France

A little under four years ago, thousands of Irish fans descended on France for Euro 2016.

The Boys in Green partied all around the country, from Paris to Bordeaux and Lille to Lyon. They even stopped off in La Rochelle to spend some time by the sea.

They brought smiles to the faces of the locals and the team didn't do too badly on the pitch either.

A late goal from Robbie Brady against Italy saw Martin O'Neill's side advance to the last 16 stage where they took an early lead against the hosts before a brace from Antoine Griezmann gave France a 2-1 victory.

But the tournament, from an Irish perspective, will undoubtedly be remembered for the craic had by fans off the pitch.

In these worrying times, we've put together a video of some of the antics by the Boys in Green which will hopefully give you a laugh.
