0:02:33 > 0:02:36- I suggested the topic of "In the - Footsteps of the Celtic Saints."
0:02:36 > 0:02:42- By suggesting something, - it means you have to do the work!
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- The Celtic saints, their history and - stories are part of our heritage.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- They are part - of our oral tradition...

0:03:07 > 0:03:12- The pathway to our door - is decorated with shoes...

0:03:53 > 0:03:57- ..which was important to the saints - and especially Dyfrig.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Whilst on ministerial missions...
0:04:00 > 0:04:05- ..they would travel down - the Wye River in their coracles...
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- ..and go out to sea - in larger vessels.
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- There's also the story of a saint - from North Wales.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20- North Wales has more churches - dedicated to Beuno than anyone else.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- We also associate him - with Clynnog Fawr.
0:04:25 > 0:04:30- It's home to an ancient wooden chest - that belonged to Beuno...
0:04:31 > 0:04:37- ..and it's a strong, - heavy chest with iron bands.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- David and Non - take pride of place in the altar.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- All the flowers are white...
0:04:47 > 0:04:53- ..and we have two white doves that - are often used to portray David.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58- The flowers also represent - the rising of the land.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06- Come and see the flowers and - some of our dramatic arrangements.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- ..as well as St David...

0:09:42 > 0:09:44- It's easier to write - in a quiz format.

0:12:23 > 0:12:28- The thing I remember most about - the tours in my time of playing...
0:12:29 > 0:12:34- ..is that we were there for three - months so could travel around.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- The locals said that we'd seen more - of the country than them!
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- It's very intense - because they live and breathe rugby.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- During the Lions tours, - they raise their game...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- ..and we were always - under the spotlight.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- PRIDE.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57- I hadn't played for Wales - when I was chosen for the 1966 tour.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- It was so unexpected.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- I thought they were joking when I - heard I'd been chosen for the Lions.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13- I can't describe how honoured I felt - to be chosen for the Lions.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- It was quite odd because I hadn't - been on a Lions tour before.
0:13:19 > 0:13:25- Clive Woodward was our coach and had - a very different style of coaching.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- It was a huge squad and we did - a lot of training out there.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- We had chefs and spin doctors - so it was a lot to take in.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37- IN UNITY, THERE'S STRENGTH.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- You face these players - in the Six Nations...
0:13:46 > 0:13:50- ..and take chunks out of yourself
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- ..but they are just like you - when you meet them.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59- They are great players - who want to win.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- The easiest thing you can do - is share a few pints together.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- MEMORIES.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11- You would play on a Saturday, - travel on a Sunday...
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- ..and spend time settling in - before going to a Gymanfa Ganu.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- John Taylor got us singing - in every language.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- It created a wonderful spirit.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- I remember one occasion - with Willie John McBride...
0:14:29 > 0:14:33- ..and we were hunting wild boar - on the mountains.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39- I'll never forget going into - the mountains with our guide.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- We came back - and McBride said to me...
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- .."Del, never volunteer - to go hunting again."
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- He almost killed me!
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- Before the third test, - Woodward had named his team.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- Myself, Gavin Henson, Gareth Cooper, - Gordon D'Arcy weren't chosen...
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- ..so we went to Queenstown - for two days and had a few pints.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- The newspaper the following day...
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- ..had a photograph of me, - Gavin Henson and Gareth Cooper...
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- ..all topless and singing karaoke!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- We missed that test - but it was a lot of fun.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- THE HOPE.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26- I think he's chosen the right team - with a lot of exciting players.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- I always say that the winner - of the first test will win the tour.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- I'm not going to bet on that!
0:15:34 > 0:15:39- If the Lions win the first test, - they could win the whole thing.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56- It's great to hear the players - reminiscing about their tours.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Who is your favourite Lion?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- Ieuan Evans was my favourite Lion.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12- How does it look, Yvonne?
0:16:14 > 0:16:19- I have to admit - that this is incredible.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- What have you added - to the arrangement, Donald?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- There's some greenery that includes - some eucalyptus and fennel...
0:16:29 > 0:16:34- ..because St David enjoyed herbs - and water as he was a vegetarian.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40- I've also got cabbage, leek - and a cauliflower made from flowers.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- There's also Passion red roses, - Shamrock Green chrysanthemums...
0:16:47 > 0:16:53- ..green anthuriums, - molucella and campanula.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- Red, white and green conveys Wales - and St David so it's very colourful.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- During St David's life, he didn't - have a lot of these flowers.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Today, we want it to look dignified.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- I love the red, white and green.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Donald did this - in less than ten minutes.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- How much would you give it - out of ten, Ann?
0:17:18 > 0:17:23- I think he deserves twelve because - he's standing there and it's great.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- How do you feel about - twelve out of ten, Donald?
0:17:27 > 0:17:33- I think she's being a creep - in case I take this home with me!
0:17:34 > 0:17:40- She'll have fun tonight and will - give me more than twelve later.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- It's an important festival as you're - raising money too, Reverend Dyfrig.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- The proceeds are shared between the - Marie Curie Hospice in Penarth...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- ..and the maintenance - of Eglwys Dewi Sant in Cardiff.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01- It's open each day - from 10.30am to 6.00pm...

0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Back to you in the studio, Llinos.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19- Visit the flower festival - if you're in the vicinity.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Next, we have an inspirational story - of a Rhyl man in his eighties...
0:18:22 > 0:18:25- ..who is facing an amazing feat.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- Tomorrow, Gwynn Williams will step - onto a plane to do a wing walk...
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- ..in aid of a charity - that is close to his heart.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- Elin visited Ty Gobaith in Conwy - to meet the man himself...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- ..and reminds us of the - importance of the charity.
0:18:45 > 0:18:50- Ty Gobaith in Conwy is one - of two hospices in North Wales...
0:18:50 > 0:18:56- ..that offers invaluable end-of-life - care to children and young people.
0:18:57 > 0:19:03- The charity is always developing to - ensure it offers various services.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- All our services are essential.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18- We now employ a neonatal nurse - for very premature babies.
0:19:19 > 0:19:25- A total of a third of our work has - been extended into the community.
0:19:25 > 0:19:31- We continue to provide end-of-life - care for those up to the age of 25.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35- Our work is never-ending.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- It's important to note - that Ty Gobaith is a charity.
0:19:39 > 0:19:44- You're totally dependent - on donations from the public.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Yes, and in order to offer all our - services in both our hospices...
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- ..we have to raise 6.3 million - every year.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- The non-statutory support would only - keep us open for 23 days a year.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05- This proves that we're dependent - on voluntary donations.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12- Gwynn Williams from Rhyl regularly - raises money for Ty Gobaith.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- He's given himself the incredible - challenge of wing walking...
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- ..or standing on the wings - of a plane whilst it's in flight...
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- ..and he has a very good reason - for setting himself this challenge.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33- My family is grateful to the site - after losing Mali aged three.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- The care they give to small children - is incredible...
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- ..and so is their bereavement care - for parents.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- That's why I'm doing it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:50- A lot of people host coffee mornings - or sing in concerts...
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- ..but you're doing a wing walk!
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- I'm a member of the - Trelawnyd Male Voice Choir...
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- ..and when I told the lads about it, - they sad, "Are you mad?!"
0:21:11 > 0:21:17- Where did you get the idea - to do a wing walk?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- I had flying lessons in Liverpool - and it stemmed from there.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26- It's something - I've always wanted to do.
