FIFA World Cup: Tens of thousands of fans gathered outside Norway's Royal Palace to welcome the national team players who returned home from their historic run to the FIFA World Cup quarter-finals.

An estimated 90,000 supporters filled the palace square, giving the team a rousing welcome despite their 2-1 extra-time defeat to England in Miami on Saturday. The result marked Norway's best-ever performance at a FIFA World Cup.

As the squad appeared on stage, players and fans joined together in the now-iconic "Viking Row" celebration that became a symbol of Norway's memorable tournament.
