St Davids Day in Wales

[Derek]

Decided to go on the annual St Davids Day Parade around town yesterday. And what a great parade it was. So here are a few pics if you want to come along with me.
Walked across the Cardiff Barrage first to a nice little butcher in Penarth who make lovely home made Lasagne.
It was a very pleasant but cold brisk walk.










Then its was bus back into the centre and a quiet pint of Abbot Ale to fuel up ready for the march.

Then it was on to the march itself. Heres are selection of photos.

After a rousing rendition of the Welsh National Anthem at the end it was time to go and refurel again before going home.

Great pics Derek, unfortunately I was in Llandrindod Wells chauffeuring a friend recovering from an eye operation, but I wore my Brithwe Dewi Sant Cilt.

However, I am pleased to spot Marcus, a fellow member of the Pontypool and Blaenafon Railway in a couple of the photos!

Nice photos Derek! Looks like a good time. Thanks for posting them.

I've not seen the tall, pointed, two sided hats in the first few photos, what are they called and what can you tell us about them?

I really felt that I was with you. Great pictures!
