The qualifying matches for the 2016 European Championships are now over and the automatic places for next year's competition have been decided. For some countries, qualification was nothing to phone home about. For others, such as Northern Ireland (their first major tournament since 1986), Wales (their first major tournament finals in 57 years), Iceland and Albania (both their first EVER major tournament), it was a momentous achievement. Here are the best celebrations on qualifying for the 2016 Euros!
