The Pembrokeshire Banner triumphed as it was carried in its rightful place in the National St David's Day Parade in Cardiff. The breeze held the flags around high and the gold letters shone in the sun. Thousands of people had turned out for the Parade and cameras clicked from all angles as the Banner passed by.
.....and isn't it exquisite! To see more photos about the making of the Banner and the Parade click on the link below or the photograph above.
