Across Wales, people today are celebrating St. David's Day, the patron saint of Wales on March 1st. St. David was a renowned preacher and founder of monastic settlements and churches in Wales in the 6th century.

To mark the occasion, children across Pembrokeshire will be wearing traditional Welsh customs and taking part in school activities across the county. Costumes also include daffodils or leeks, which are the national symbols of Wales. The daffodil is said to represent the arrival of spring, while the leek has long been a symbol of Welsh pride and identity.

Celebrations in Pembrokeshire included parades, concerts, and traditional Welsh food and drink. Many schools and community groups organized events to teach children about Welsh culture and history, including Welsh language lessons, folk dancing, and storytelling.

St. David's Day is a significant cultural event for the people of Pembrokeshire and Wales as a whole. It provides an opportunity for people to come together to celebrate their national identity and heritage, and to honor the legacy of St. David.
