Wales have linked up with the Manic Street Preachers for their official song for their Euro 2016 campaign in France this summer.

The song, entitled 'Together Stronger (C'mon Wales)', celebrates past and present members of the Wales squad and their appearance in a major tournament for the first time in over half a century.

It will be released close to the tournament on May 20 with all profits going to the Princes Gate Trust and Tenovus Cancer Care.

The band met up with Wales manager Chris Coleman and members of his squad at training on Monday to film an accompanying music video.

"It was fantastic to be involved with such an iconic Welsh band," said Coleman.

"The Manic Street Preachers have been passionate Welsh football supporters and all the lads enjoyed the experience and joined in.

"It is also great to be supporting such worthwhile causes."
