0:00:410:00:44

-He was always full of enthusiasm.

0:00:460:00:51

-Everyone in Wales

0:00:510:00:55

-My guest is Roy Thomas,

-the chief executive of Kidney Wales.

0:00:550:01:01

-You've just completed a mammoth trek

-around the whole of Wales...

0:01:030:01:07

-Yes, that's right.

0:01:100:01:14

-It's International Museum Day.

0:01:320:01:35

-Tonight, I'm in The Anglesey

-Transport Museum : Tacla Taid.

0:01:520:01:57

-We start with the sad news...

0:02:040:02:07

-..of the passing of the former First

-Minister of Wales, Rhodri Morgan...

0:02:070:02:11

-..at the age of 77.

0:02:120:02:15

-He was born and raised in Cardiff...

0:02:150:02:18

-..and was the Labour MP for

-Cardiff West in the 1980s and 1990s.

0:02:180:02:23

-Following devolution, he became

-the AM for the same constituency...

0:02:230:02:27

-..and was made

-First Minister of Wales in 2000.

0:02:270:02:31

-He led two coalition governments in

-Cardiff Bay before retiring in 2009.

0:02:310:02:37

-Tributes have been paid by

-politicians from all parties...

0:02:370:02:42

-..and friends from across Wales.

0:02:430:02:46

-Rhodri Morgan was one of the most

-capable and popular politicians...

0:02:460:02:51

-..who will also be remembered

-for his warm and unique personality.

0:02:510:02:55

-It's a very sad day in Wales as

-the nation has lost a special man.

0:03:150:03:20

-We've lost a very wise

-and acute politician.

0:03:220:03:26

-But we've also lost a good Welshman

-who was proud to be Welsh.

0:03:260:03:31

-I had the pleasure of working

-alongside him in Westminster.

0:03:360:03:40

-I'd try to keep up with him

-when we went out jogging...

0:03:400:03:44

-..but he was taller than me and had

-longer legs and didn't stop talking!

0:03:440:03:50

-He was very distinctive

-in that sense.

0:03:500:03:54

-I've known Rhodri

-for almost 50 years.

0:03:570:04:00

-I first met him at a rugby match

-at the Old Arcade in Cardiff.

0:04:010:04:07

-I classed him as a friend and unique

-and someone I'll never forget...

0:04:070:04:13

-..as he was a Welshman to the core..

0:04:130:04:17

-..a staunch member of the Labour

-Party and a citizen of the world.

0:04:170:04:23

-APPLAUSE

0:04:260:04:29

-He looked like a real character

-with a unique hairstyle.

0:04:300:04:36

-He was very authoritative

-when speaking but not frightening...

0:04:360:04:42

-..because he could also be gentle

-and friendly when in a pub or cafe.

0:04:430:04:49

-He always put people at their ease.

0:04:520:04:57

-WHISTLE

0:04:580:04:59

-Rhodri Morgan

-had a tough time at one point.

0:05:020:05:06

-He was a strong supporter

-for the devolution of Wales...

0:05:060:05:10

-..but was overlooked twice for the

-role of First Minister of Wales...

0:05:100:05:16

-..but it was a case

-of third time lucky...

0:05:160:05:20

-..and he became a leader who set

-firm foundations for our Assembly.

0:05:200:05:25

-I was honoured to be the Presiding

-Officer at the National Assembly...

0:05:270:05:33

-..whilst he was the

-First Minister of Wales.

0:05:330:05:36

-I can say with my hand on my heart

-that we never had a crossed word.

0:05:360:05:41

-He knew that the principles

-of democracy had to work everywhere.

0:05:420:05:46

-I'm so grateful for that

-as if it had been anyone else....

0:05:460:05:51

-..who didn't grasp the importance of

-a democratic government for Wales...

0:05:510:05:56

-..then we wouldn't be here today.

0:05:560:05:58

-I last saw him in the Senedd at a

-constitutional committee meeting.

0:05:590:06:05

-He was as enthusiastic that day

-as he was on the day we first met.

0:06:050:06:09

-He had many interests

-including music and rugby.

0:06:140:06:18

-His articles in the Western Mail

-were heart-warming for Wales' teams.

0:06:180:06:23

-He loved gardening

-and every aspect of life in Wales.

0:06:230:06:27

-He enjoyed visiting Cardigan

-and Mwnt but also loved his home.

0:06:280:06:33

-One, two, three!

0:06:340:06:37

-Have you enjoyed your day?

0:06:380:06:40

-Yes, it's been wonderful.

0:06:400:06:43

-My tribute

-is to a great man and Welshman...

0:06:480:06:52

-..a very wise and acute politician.

0:06:530:06:56

-His family has lost a father

-and brother and loving husband...

0:06:560:07:00

-..but everyone in Wales

-feels this loss today.

0:07:010:07:04

-We send our condolences

-to Rhodri's widow, Julie Morgan...

0:07:170:07:21

-..their children and all the family.

0:07:220:07:25

-My studio guest is Roy Thomas...

0:07:250:07:27

-..the chief executive

-of the charity, Kidney Wales.

0:07:280:07:32

-Roy has been remembering the times

-when he worked alongside Rhodri...

0:07:320:07:37

-..because Rhodri Morgan supported

-the charity for many years.

0:07:370:07:42

-We've been chatting

-about the sad news.

0:07:490:07:53

-He was a giant of a man.

0:07:530:07:59

-I want to pay tribute

-for his work for Wales...

0:08:030:08:09

-..and for our charity.

0:08:110:08:17

-We've also had the law

-for organ donation.

0:08:200:08:26

-He was a very intelligent man.

0:08:260:08:32

-He was the sort of man

-who could chat with anyone.

0:08:340:08:40

-He could share a pint with anyone...

0:08:450:08:51

-..and was always seen across Wales.

0:08:540:08:57

-Kidney Wales is celebrating

-its 50th anniversary.

0:08:570:09:02

-He always came to our suppers.

0:09:020:09:07

-Julie was also with him.

0:09:070:09:11

-We send our thoughts to Julie.

0:09:110:09:17

-They always supported each other.

0:09:170:09:19

-Kidney Wales recently completed

-a special sponsored walk...

0:09:200:09:24

-..around the whole of Wales.

0:09:250:09:27

-Yes, that's right.

0:09:270:09:31

-We started on 18 April...

0:09:320:09:36

-We went to all the dialysis units

-across Wales.

0:09:560:10:02

-We did 470 miles!

0:10:020:10:08

-It was something

-that we had to do...

0:10:080:10:13

-..for this 50th anniversary.

0:10:140:10:20

-The charity is in a good place

-at the moment.

0:10:200:10:26

-We want to establish

-a new respite centre...

0:10:290:10:34

-..for those people who are patients.

0:10:340:10:40

-Some of them have to go through

-three or four sessions a week.

0:10:430:10:49

-We've raised about 1 million.

0:10:520:10:58

-We need 4 million for a centre.

0:10:580:11:04

-Rhodri was the sort of man we could

-consult for advice.

0:11:100:11:16

-There's some people in the National

-Assembly...

0:11:190:11:25

-..who we can turn to for support.

0:11:250:11:28

-Next, we head to Anglesey and

-Newborough to join Gerallt Pennant.

0:11:280:11:32

-Good evening, Gerallt.

0:11:320:11:33

-Good evening to you, Llinos.

0:11:340:11:36

-It's International Museum Day.

0:11:360:11:40

-Tonight, I'm in The Anglesey

-Transport Museum : Tacla Taid.

0:11:400:11:45

-This place is a paradise

-for car fans.

0:11:450:11:47

-Earlier, I heard of a scheme

-called Anglesey Treasures Museum.

0:11:480:11:52

-We're sat in front of a roaring fire

-whilst the sun is shining.

0:11:520:11:56

-The fire was important in places

-like Swtan Cottage 200 years ago.

0:11:570:12:03

-It was used for heating, cooking

-and living so we had to have it.

0:12:040:12:09

-This must be the last

-thatched cottage on Anglesey.

0:12:090:12:14

-It's the last one on Anglesey

-with this type of roof.

0:12:140:12:19

-What do you offer for those

-who visit this small museum?

0:12:190:12:24

-The kitchen contains old furniture

-and shows their way of life.

0:12:240:12:30

-The sheds contain the tools

-for working the land and garden.

0:12:310:12:37

-The visitors love it.

0:12:400:12:45

-Yes, and they often come back.

0:12:450:12:50

-Today, my friends and I

-are walking the Wales Coast Path.

0:12:500:12:56

-I'm proud to show them

-the Swtan Cottage.

0:12:560:12:59

-I'm from Anglesey and am delighted

-that they restored the cottage.

0:13:000:13:05

-It's wonderful on a glorious day.

0:13:050:13:08

-It reminds me of my grandparents'

-home who lived in Pembrokeshire.

0:13:090:13:15

-It's great to be here

-on such a beautiful day.

0:13:160:13:19

-Thursday is market day in Llangefni.

0:13:200:13:24

-The usual stalls are joined

-by the Anglesey Treasures Museum.

0:13:240:13:29

-We've got a pop up museum

-in Llangefni today.

0:13:310:13:34

-The people of Anglesey have been

-asked to find antiques at home...

0:13:350:13:39

-..that can be brought

-to these events.

0:13:390:13:43

-The first is on Saturday

-at the Vintage Rally on Anglesey.

0:13:440:13:48

-There are others in Holyhead,

-Cemaes and Llangefni Carnival.

0:13:490:13:54

-People should search their homes

-and bring their items to be valued.

0:13:540:13:58

-As a valuer, what's the difference

-between price and value?

0:14:010:14:07

-The brick you're holding

-is from Cemaes on Anglesey...

0:14:080:14:12

-..and conjures up an image

-of the past.

0:14:120:14:16

-These bricks are important.

0:14:160:14:20

-These are interesting events

-for a valuer.

0:14:200:14:26

-Yes, it's great to meet people, see

-their items and learn the history.

0:14:260:14:32

-You're encouraging people

-to come and show you their items.

0:14:330:14:39

-Make sure you support

-the Anglesey Treasures Museum.

0:14:400:14:46

-They are on the Anglesey Showground

-on Saturday.

0:14:510:14:54

-I'm now joined by Arfon Williams...

0:14:540:14:57

-..the owner of the Tacla Taid

-Anglesey Transport Museum.

0:14:580:15:02

-How did you start this museum?

0:15:020:15:05

-This is my father's car.

0:15:050:15:09

-It's where it all started.

0:15:090:15:15

-This was from the programme, Z Cars.

0:15:180:15:20

-How many cars do you have?

0:15:200:15:23

-There are also tractors and

-motorbikes.

0:15:310:15:35

-How many people come here?

0:15:360:15:38

-Last year, we had 16,000 visitors.

0:15:390:15:42

-Sarah Williams-Davies is the manager

-of the cafe.

0:15:420:15:48

-These old cars don't gather dust!

0:15:500:15:54

-No, they are used.

0:15:540:16:00

-It's great to take them along

-the roads of Anglesey.

0:16:050:16:09

-These cars have character.

0:16:090:16:12

-They are full of character.

0:16:120:16:15

-It helps to learn about their

-brakes!

0:16:160:16:20

-It's been a great day.

0:16:200:16:22

-Thank you, Gerallt.

0:16:220:16:23

-It's time for a short break.

0:16:240:16:25

-Today marks the day the Urdd shares

-its message around the world.

0:16:320:16:36

-Today marks the day the Urdd shares

-its Peace and Goodwill Message.

0:17:030:17:07

-The first message

-was delivered in 1922...

0:17:070:17:11

-..but appears in video format

-for the first time this year.

0:17:110:17:15

-The message has been translated

-into 17 languages...

0:17:160:17:18

-..and it's hoped that it reaches

-the four corners of the globe...

0:17:190:17:23

-..as young people

-share it on social media.

0:17:230:17:25

-The National Youth Forum

-and Bwrdd Syr IfanC present...

0:17:260:17:29

0:17:310:17:37

-We invite young people

-across the world to join with us...

0:17:390:17:42

-..in our call for equality

-for young people.

0:17:430:17:46

-We wish to receive equality:

0:17:480:17:50

-In our education opportunities...

0:17:500:17:53

-..in our freedom to live

-according to our sexuality...

0:17:530:17:56

-..when dealing

-with our disabilities...

0:17:560:17:59

-..in our life choices

-and opportunities...

0:17:590:18:01

-..in our rights

-to use our own language...

0:18:020:18:04

-..when tackling racism

-and in our freedom of religion.

0:18:040:18:08

-Without equality

-and recognition of our rights...

0:18:080:18:11

-..others see us

-in a different light.

0:18:120:18:16

-We call for our voice to be heard.

0:18:160:18:19

-We wish that our voice is respected.

0:18:190:18:22

-We call for the right for all of us

-to express our opinions...

0:18:220:18:26

-..and for young people

-to have a vote...

0:18:260:18:28

-..asking others to speak with us

-before speaking on our behalf.

0:18:280:18:33

-We do not have all the answers,

-we have our weaknesses...

0:18:340:18:38

-..and we acknowledge them

-so that we can keep on learning.

0:18:380:18:43

-We need to receive

-the correct information.

0:18:430:18:46

-We need to be educated on social,

-political and international matters.

0:18:460:18:52

-By encouragement, not enforcement,

-we are able to influence others.

0:18:530:18:59

-Together, we can raise

-standards within our communities...

0:19:000:19:03

-..for the generations of today...

0:19:040:19:07

-..ensuring that equality is at the

-heart of decisions for the future.

0:19:080:19:13

-That was a very important message.

0:19:170:19:20

-Our next stop is

-the Preselis in Pembrokeshire.

0:19:210:19:24

-The area has inspired many

-of our poets, artists and writers.

0:19:250:19:28

-The geologist, Dyfed Elis-Gruffydd

-has documented its past in a book.

0:19:290:19:35

-Y Preselau: Gwlad Hud a Lledrith

-raises a few questions and concerns.

0:19:350:19:40

-Why did you decide

-to write this book now?

0:19:460:19:51

-Nobody else had written about it.

0:19:510:19:56

-These hills possess

-numerous unscientific theories.

0:19:570:20:03

-I was eager to expose the truth.

0:20:070:20:11

-I retraced my footing

-around the Preselis.

0:20:120:20:18

-I became familiar with this area

-back in 1973 when I settled here.

0:20:230:20:28

-The volume raises a few questions

-and examines the facts and fiction.

0:20:290:20:35

-It's claimed that 80 stones were

-taken from Carn Meini to Salisbury.

0:20:360:20:42

-However, only 40 stones

-are on display in Stonehenge.

0:20:460:20:51

-People believe

-the figure was eighty.

0:20:510:20:57

-It's a misconception or lie

-that needs to be corrected.

0:20:570:21:02

-You can't publish a book about the

-Preselis without mentioning Waldo.

0:21:020:21:08

-We're grateful to Waldo and others

-for campaigning in the late 1940s.

0:21:100:21:16

-They fought against the idea of

-a firing range on the Preselis.

0:21:190:21:22

-If it'd gone ahead,

-we wouldn't be sitting here now.

0:21:230:21:27

-And I don't think I'd have been born

-in Mynachlog-ddu if it had happened.

0:21:280:21:32

-The area has inspired many artists

-and a handful feature in your book.

0:21:350:21:41

-Wyn Owens hails from Mynachlog-ddu

-and has produced fascinating work.

0:21:440:21:50

-He captures the essence of the area.

0:21:520:21:58
