He said: “I’m working on match days so to meet the squad with the ambassador was the next best thing and an absolute privilege. “The lads seemed to be in good spirits and we were telling them how we will be flying the Welsh flag above the UK Embassy on match-days in their honour. We’re in a tough group but I’m hoping we can do well. We surprised a few people at the last Euros.” He added: “I’m heading up the Consular operation to provide assistance if it’s needed on match days so I won’t get to go to the Wales game, but my wife and daughter are going to the games on my behalf.
