Haverfordwest was a hive of activity as hundreds of children from 14 schools sang and waved as they paraded through the town centre today (Friday, 7th March) to celebrate the Patron Saint of Wales.
Organised by the Pembrokeshire Language Forum and Pembrokeshire County Council, the annual parade has proved to be popular with schools and residents alike.
Led by the enthusiastic sounds of Samba Doc, the parade started from the top of town and children marched down High Street before looping through the town centre and ending at Picton Playing Fields, for an open-air jamboree.
Council Leader Cllr Jon Harvey said: “This was a wonderful event and it was fantastic to see schools from across Pembrokeshire taking part.”
Catrin Phillips, Welsh Language Development Officer, said: “A heartfelt thank you to the schools, organisations, volunteers, and everyone else who help make this yearly event such a success – it’s wonderful to see so many people coming together to celebrate our language and culture!”
