Irish fans have been presented with the Medaille de la Ville de Paris in recognition of their "exemplary behaviour" at Euro 2016.

Supporters of both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland had their exploits acknowledged by Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, at a special ceremony in Paris on Thursday, ahead of the Euro 2016 semi-final between Germany and France.

Both teams were eliminated at the round of 16, but their supporters won over the people of France with their good-natured behaviour.
