:00:21. > :00:22.Welcome to Wales Today live from Lille.
:00:23. > :00:24.I know it's late but no, you're not dreaming -
:00:25. > :00:27.Wales are through to the semi finals of the European Championships.
:00:28. > :00:35.Their first semi final in their history.
:00:36. > :00:41.Wales found themselves a goal down against the second-best team in the
:00:42. > :00:54.world but that didn't stop them. A night of high drama.
:00:55. > :01:06.They'd reached a major tournament for the first time in 58 years but
:01:07. > :01:10.for this group of friends, that wasn't enough. They had the belief
:01:11. > :01:17.they could go further than ever before. So did their fans. Before
:01:18. > :01:21.kick-off, their fans were allowed as ever in Lille, they have carried
:01:22. > :01:24.their team through to the quarterfinals, a team that have
:01:25. > :01:28.built a strong defence and they needed it not once or twice but
:01:29. > :01:33.three times in quick succession early on. Given the chance, Belgian
:01:34. > :01:46.work on ago, with Wayne Hennessey unable to get enough fingers and
:01:47. > :01:52.naked limbs shot. At times like this, you need your captain. What a
:01:53. > :01:57.beautiful time for Ashley Williams to score his first international
:01:58. > :02:05.goal. On the touchline, scenes of ecstasy. Cue the celebrations back
:02:06. > :02:10.at home. In Lille city centre, travelling fans got behind the
:02:11. > :02:19.nation. I was ecstatic. I nearly cried. And he didn't have to wait
:02:20. > :02:26.long. Aaron Ramsey's cross found how Connie Robson -- Hal Robson-Kanu who
:02:27. > :02:30.had some magic in his boots, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. Chris
:02:31. > :02:36.Coleman's men arguably in control against the second-best team in the
:02:37. > :02:41.world. They wanted more. Sam Vokes catapulted his team into the
:02:42. > :02:45.semifinals. What a story which has weaved its
:02:46. > :02:51.way so wonderfully well towards the semifinal and it's a public -- a
:02:52. > :02:56.perfect scenario, Gareth Bale and Wales against Cristiano Ronaldo's
:02:57. > :03:03.Portugal. The fans here are planning a trip to Lyon.
:03:04. > :03:10.Let's talk now to the former Welsh striker. What a night? It's not
:03:11. > :03:14.often I'm lost for words but I'm speechless, I really am. Heroic. He
:03:15. > :03:20.rose, single one of them. A magnificent effort in that second
:03:21. > :03:24.half. We were under the cosh for quite a long period after we got the
:03:25. > :03:29.second goal but then the third one went in. They never know when
:03:30. > :03:33.they're beating. Maybe lesser sides after they'd conceded the first goal
:03:34. > :03:38.and the way Belgian started would have given in, but not these boys.
:03:39. > :03:44.They rolled up their sleeves. They have a self belief I've never seen
:03:45. > :03:48.before in the side. We have all used words like confidence so many times,
:03:49. > :03:55.but I'm such a proud Welshman tonight. The next challenge,
:03:56. > :04:02.Portugal. Without too suspended players, how will Wales fair? It is
:04:03. > :04:13.a big blow for us. Aaron Ramsey and Gareth have been a big part -- they
:04:14. > :04:19.have both been a big part of the team and it is a shame. Portugal
:04:20. > :04:22.have not won a game in 90 minutes. I think we're through to the final.
:04:23. > :04:38.The party has moved from the band so now into the centre but not so long
:04:39. > :04:41.ago, this was packed. A sea of red. Wales fans were outnumbered by
:04:42. > :04:52.Belgians but they were not outdone by them tonight. When Al Connie
:04:53. > :04:56.Robson scored tonight -- Hal Robson-Kanu scored tonight, people
:04:57. > :05:00.went crazy. It has rained today but beer poured down when he scored.
:05:01. > :05:07.This is what it meant to be found here tonight. Tears in my eyes.
:05:08. > :05:12.Unbelievable. Absolutely fantastic. Amazing. I never thought I'd see it.
:05:13. > :05:17.Best I've ever seen them play. We came from Tenby this morning, got
:05:18. > :05:22.delayed but managed to get here on time. Absolutely buzzing now. 3-1.
:05:23. > :05:28.Can't believe it. We've seen the emotion of Ashley Williams on the
:05:29. > :05:33.pitch and plenty here to. I've got a sneaky feeling the party will last
:05:34. > :05:35.away into the night and into next week, all the way to the semifinal
:05:36. > :05:41.engaging back next week. -- Services of remembrance have
:05:42. > :05:45.been held across Wales, to mark 100 years since the Battle
:05:46. > :05:48.of the Somme. Nick Palit now, on the
:05:49. > :05:49.day's commemorations. A trench lantern from 1916 formed
:05:50. > :05:52.the centrepiece of the overnight At first light, it was transported
:05:53. > :06:00.to Cardiff's Cathays Park. At the National War Memorial,

:06:05. > :06:07.first day of battles on the upper Just before 7.30, two minutes
:06:08. > :06:16.of silence to honour them. Whistles were then blown to signify
:06:17. > :06:19.the start of battle by these former soldiers of the of the 3rd
:06:20. > :06:23.Battalion Royal Welsh. Very proud and very humble
:06:24. > :06:27.for what they did. I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't
:06:28. > :06:32.for them, their sacrifice. We timed it to the 7.30 mark
:06:33. > :06:41.and there was a poignancy to that and I think we felt a oneness
:06:42. > :06:45.with them that was hugely It just is something
:06:46. > :06:52.which we have all got to remember and look to the future,
:06:53. > :06:55.because this is about how we can As part of the commemoration here,
:06:56. > :07:04.100 volunteers organised by National Theatre Wales paraded

:08:08. > :08:22.how's the weekend looking, Sue? it's not feeling too summary back in
:08:23. > :08:28.Wales. Bright but blustery. If we look at the map, some drier spells,
:08:29. > :08:35.clearest bells and slightly cooler at eight to 11 Celsius. Eventually
:08:36. > :08:39.that front clears to allow more settled weather tomorrow. A view
:08:40. > :08:43.lingering showers early on. Low pressure to the north and west of
:08:44. > :08:53.the UK bringing a rash of showers here. Sunny spells in between.
:08:54. > :08:55.Disappointing temperatures for July - 15C in the north of Scotland,
:08:56. > :08:59.Sunshine and showers later across Wales, drying up for most
:09:00. > :09:02.Brighter, but very blustery along Cardigan Bay.
:09:03. > :09:04.Just 15 Celsius here, 17 in Swansea and Cardiff.
:09:05. > :09:06.The pressure chart shows clearer, drier spells Saturday night
:09:07. > :09:09.and Sunday morning - but this next system edges
:09:10. > :09:12.in from the south and west later Sunday.
:09:13. > :09:13.Some dry weather Sunday, sunny spells.
:09:14. > :09:15.Lighter winds, the odd shower, but turning cloudier later
:09:16. > :09:18.from the south west, with outbreaks of rain starting
:09:19. > :09:20.to push in from the west by the evening.
:09:21. > :09:27.So a blustery sunshine and showers weekend.
:09:28. > :09:30.Let's return to Lille now, for the final word.
:09:31. > :09:55.No doubt, the best night in Welsh football history and the players
:09:56. > :10:00.didn't want to leave the pitch for some time, savouring the atmosphere.
:10:01. > :10:03.We dare to dream. Good night.
