THE first day of Spring is upon us and daffodils are in bloom as Wales celebrates St David.

Today, the people of Wales will don Welsh shirts and traditional costume to celebrate that we are proud to be Welsh.

Saint David was the patron Saint of Wales in the 12th century and has been celebrated across the country for decades.
