Class act from these Welsh supporters will restore your faith in football fans

This is great to see...

This is more like it.

If we’re being honest, some of the scenes reaching us from Marseille in the last couple of days have been thoroughly depressing for football fans.

Fighting amongst groups of English, Russian and French football fans in the city has dominated the headlines during the opening couple of days of Euro 2016, reminding us all football hooliganism is not quite the distant memory some of us thought it may have been.

With so much negativity, something like this is well overdue.

There’s little doubting that Wales supporters have enjoyed their time in Bordeaux, especially after their 2-1 victory over Slovakia, but the footage below is almost guaranteed to restore your faith in the good nature of football supporters.

As a newly-married couple make their way through a Bordeaux streets, Welsh supporters greet them with cheers and applause.

Much better than hurling glass bottles at each other and tear gas canister wielding riot police, don’t you think?

Fair play to this lot. This is much better.
