When it was all said and done, there was only one thing left to do.
Wales had been beaten 3-0 by England and the World Cup was over following three distinctly disappointing performances. After 64 years of waiting this wasn't how it was meant to be.
But, with the the English fans having all but left the stadium, the Welsh players stayed on the pitch and the Red Wall remained rooted in their seats. After the applause and the thanks came a remarkable moment of togetherness as a stunning rendition of the Welsh national anthem boomed out of the stadium in Qatar.
