Backing up photos from an old phone and found a little bit of history on there...

Meet Carrie Jones; she's 15 years old and just about to make her Wales debut in our 6-0 win over the Faroe Islands.

Wonder what became of her...

Once home to a cult, the Chilean tourist village haunted by torture and child abuse

Chile wants to turn the site where a cult leader tortured prisoners and abused his followers into a memorial.

Anyone know where a record of Wales B international results can be found? Found bits n pieces online (mainly from sources related to other nations) but nothing definitive

Diolch - I don't recall it either - hence the ask to see if anyone can remember...

ie and why I was pleased to see Croeso alongside welcome, etc on the posters in St Gallen - as don't recall having seen it before at a major tournament

Yes, I recorded Welsh at Euro 2025, but I wanted to see how far that dated back...

Do you remember seeing anything similar in France for 2016 by any chance? (if you were there?) Diolch

Researcher question:

Did anyone see any Welsh language signage in the public sphere during Euro 2016?

Eg on signs, posters, UEFA branding, etc?
