The last four hero Navy Seals have left the cave after working tirelessly to rescue the 12 boys and football coach who were trapped there for more than two weeks.
The Thai navy Seals, who were central to the rescue effort, posted a picture of the last four Seals out – three divers and a doctor – alongside the words “Hooyah Hooyah Hooyah”.
They have performed an extraordinary rescue mission which has gripped the world.
Earlier on Tuesday they confirmed on their Facebook page that the remaining four boys and their 25-year-old coach were all brought out safely.
Eight of the boys were rescued by a team of Thai and international divers on Sunday and Monday.

"We are not sure if this is a miracle, a science, or what. All the thirteen Wild Boars are now out of the cave," the Seals posted earlier, referring to the name of the boys' team. "Everyone is safe."
Cheers erupted at a local government office where dozens of volunteers and journalists were awaiting news of whether the intricate and high-risk rescue mission had succeeded.
Helicopters taking the boys to a hospital roared overhead.
People on the street cheered and clapped when ambulances ferrying the boys arrived at the hospital in Chiang Rai city.
Payap Maiming, 40, who helped provide food and necessities to rescue workers and journalists, said a "miracle" had happened.
"I'm happy for Thais all over the country, for the people of Mae Sai, and actually just everyone in the world because every news channel has presented this story and this is what we have been waiting for," she said.

Mae Sai is the district where the cave is located, in the northern part of Chiang Rai province, near the border with Myanmar.
"It's really a miracle," Payap said. "It's hope and faith that has brought us this success."
Each of the boys, ages 11 to 16 and with no diving experience, was guided out by a pair of divers in three days of highly dangerous operations.
The route, in some places just a crawl space, had oxygen canisters positioned at regular intervals to refresh each team's air supply.
A former Thai Navy Seal died on Friday while replenishing the canisters.
Cave diving experts had warned it may be too risky to dive the youngsters out.
But Thai officials, aware that the boys could be trapped for months by monsoon rains and following a massive water pumping effort, seized a window of opportunity provided by relatively mild weather.
