Watch: Cheers and applause ring out at Tham Luang Cave as all 12 boys rescued

Cheers and applause rang out at the volunteer site at Tham Luang Cave today as all 12 boys were brought to safety.

The boys and their coach were trapped by floods more than two weeks ago.

Thai Navy Seals begun the hazardous operation to extract the schoolboys and football coach earlier this week, and recovered four people yesterday.

It was confirmed a short while ago that all 12 boys and coach are now out, with a rescue doctor and three Navy Seals who stayed with the group still to emerge.
