IPhone – Retrieve old lock screen notifications

iphonenotificationstouch-id

I pressed the home button on my iPhone 6. I noticed that there was a notification on the lock screen – something about iCloud. Before I could read more than a few words, Touch ID helpfully kicked in and unlocked the phone, taking me to my home screen.

I wanted to finish reading it, so I pulled down the notification center from the top and didn't see the message on Today or Notifications. Is there any way to get such notifications back, or should I develop muscle memory of clicking the home button and quickly removing my thumb from the button to avoid losing these forever?

edit: This no longer appears to be a problem in iOS 10. woot

Just swipe down from the top of the locked screen. The old notifications will scroll down.
