What do people in Wales do to commemorate the occasion Kurt? Or does it pass relatively unnoticed like St George's day here in England. I wouldn't even know when St George's day is without googling it. Don't even know which month it's in. I always remember when St David's and St Patrick's day is though.

Traditionally on March 1st we celebrate beating England at rugby :-) Otherwise, singing and alcohol.
 

And to mark the occasion there was a lovely version of “ Hen wlad Fy Nhadau “ on Tv this morning by Wynne Evans, the Go Compare man. He doesnt always get the recognition his operatic voice deserves, about 15 years ago he carried the Welsh flag across the pitch before a rugby international while singing “ Bread of Heaven”. My mate turned to me and said “ Who’s the fat guy with the flag?” :rolleyes:

Down here in Cornwall they have St Piran's day, which is March 5th. This year it's a bit of a damp squid due to covid, but normally it's quite a big thing down here. All the larger towns will have some form of official celebration such as a parade or procession, and whilst the Govt has not allowed them to make it an official bank holiday despite numerous requests, most councils give staff the day off and a majority of schools are also closed. It's a tradition that free pasties are handed out on St Piran's day ;).
