A Northern Ireland soccer supporter has died whilst watching his team play Ukraine at the Stade de Lyon.
Robert Rainey, known to friends and family as Archie, is understood to have suffered a cardiac arrest yesterday at 6pm local time.
Mr Rainey, who was in his 60s, received medical attention inside the stadium but was later pronounced dead.

The PSNI later confirmed the death, which was the second Northern Irish fatality to take place at the Euro 2016 tournament following the death of Darren Rodgers, 24, earlier this week.
Superintendent Nigel Goddard said: "Our thoughts are tragically with a second family this week mourning the devastating loss of their loved one.
"We understand the man aged in his sixties collapsed during the game and was attended to by emergency services in the Stade de Lyon. It is extremely sad that this is the second death of a Northern Ireland fan in France during the Euro 2016 games."
Mr Rainey's family said that he had died "doing what he loved best."
The Football Association Ireland sent their condolences to everyone involved in Northern Irish football after a tragic week for supporters.
FAI CEO John Delaney said: “This is a sad outcome to what was a historic day for Northern Irish football following their victory over Ukraine.
“On behalf of everyone in the FAI and the Republic of Ireland squad, I would like to express our sadness and condolences to IFA President Jim Shaw, CEO Patrick Nelson and all who are associated with the Northern Ireland squad.
“We also remember the friends and family of another Northern Ireland fan Darren Rodgers who died earlier this week in a tragic accident in Nice, and we would also like to remember Republic of Ireland supporter James Nolan, who died four years ago in Poland, during EURO 2012."
During the same match, fans paid tribute to Mr Rodgers, the 24-year-old Northern Ireland supporter who died earlier this week, by clapping at the 24th minute of the game.
Mr Rodgers died after falling eight metres from a promenade onto a rocky beach in Nice on Monday morning, hours after Northern Ireland's first match against Poland.
The young fan was an amateur footballer himself and played for Co Antrim side, Braid United FC.
Northern Ireland earned their first win of the tournament yesterday beating Ukraine 2-0.
