Watch as GB News reporter Steve Bennett meets St David’s Day revellers in Wrexham, Wales to celebrate the Welsh patron saint.
The sun-kissed city’s streets are adorned with Welsh flags as celebrations kick off in St David’s honour.
Many are seen wearing one or both of Wales’s national emblems – a daffodil and a leek.
One local told Steve “anything with a flag, and I’m there” as she proudly held the Welsh emblem aloft.

One celebrant told Steve that her mother had organised the event in the city centre, making the occasion particularly pertinent to her.

The message represents a significant milestone for the prince, who has previously only used a few Welsh words in greetings when visiting the country.
In the video, he celebrates Wales’s history, culture and “incredible people”.
The message follows a visit to Wales with Catherine, Princess of Wales, on Wednesday.
During their trip to Pontypridd, the royal couple met with flood victims and Prince William tried his hand at cooking Welsh cakes.
In his message, Prince William said: “Hello. Today, on St David’s Day, we come together to celebrate Wales – its history, its culture, and its incredible people.”
He continued: “From its breathtaking landscapes to its language, Wales continues to inspire.”
The prince added: “Today, we will celebrate everything that is magical about Wales.”
He concluded his Welsh-language address with: “To the people of Wales and everybody around the world, Happy St David’s Day.”
