The pomp and circumstance of the European Championships draw is over. Highlights include a local derby between England and Wales, Belgium and Italy forming the group of death and hosts France get a comfortable ride.

Football fans from around Europe can start booking their holidays after the draw for the Euro 2016 Championships in France took place in Paris last night.

Being born in England, and spending most of my life in Wales, I am delighted to see the English and the Welsh drawn in the same group, as are, I am sure, fans from both nations.
