What a fantastic tournament Euro 2016 proved to be for Northern Ireland.
With many expecting them to emerge from what looked a very tough group with 0 points, they claimed an impressive win over Ukraine which was enough to ensure their passage to the knockout stages.
They were unlucky against Wales in the quarter-final, losing out due to a Gareth McAuley own goal, but the players played with commitment and determination that kept their fans singing for nearly every minute of play. That's why the Northern Ireland players' homecoming was always going to be a cracking party, and now that footage has emerged, it's clear that it didn't dissappoint.
'Will Grigg's on fire' was one of the defining sounds of Euro 2016, but this may just be the best rendition of it yet.

Fantastic scenes.
Of course, Will Grigg didn't see a single second of action at Euro 2016, which we can only assume is because Michael O'Neill knew that the reaction would likely cause the game to be delayed.
That's the only explanation. Still, it didn't put them off belting it out.
