Euro 2016 is down to the real nitty-gritty stuff now, the semi-finals taking place tomorrow evening and Thursday evening.

Wales have surpassed all expectations and will tackle Portugal, causing football fans around the world to salivate at the prospect of Real Madrid teammates Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo facing off against one another.

The other match will see hosts France take on ze Germans, who toppled the Italians after the worst penalty shoot-out in modern history.

That being said it is Iceland who really won over the neutrals, the minnows booting out the English before going down bravely to the French on Sunday.

We’ve covered their remarkable rise to success (HERE), and who could forget their now world famous commentator (HERE), but what about the reception that awaited the heroes when they arrived back home?

It all went bonkers in the capital city of Reykjavík, the team taking part in an open-top bus tour through the city.

They then ended up on the hill of Arnarholl, where those gathered taking part in the iconic Viking boom chant.

Some snaps of the team soaking it up from the BBC:

Selfies, the universal language.

If you’re looking at practising your Icelandic then why not watch that parade in full – sorry, that crazy commentator isn’t on the mic.

Well played Iceland, you’ve won over millions of fans right across the world – except maybe England.
