-Hello and welcome to Llanelli

-for Tuesday's edition of Heno.

-Between now and 7.30pm...

-..we mark the birthday of one of the

-best rugby players in Welsh history.

-Yes, we join Sir Gareth Edwards

-and his wife, Maureen.

-Happy birthday, darling

-and I hope you have a great day.

-Keep bringing me

-my morning cup of tea!

-I think I'll have to tell my husband

-to bring me tea in the morning.

-Nothing beats the glorious sounds

-of a male voice choir.

-I'm at Galeri, Caernarfon to hear

-more from this male voice choir.

-This choir is celebrating 50 years

-and you can hear about them later.

-How are your tennis skills?

-I hope they are better than mine!

-You can bring Wimbledon to your

-back garden with our competition.

-My studio guest is a television

-and radio presenter and actor...

-..who knocked Colin off his bike

-in major storyline in Pobol y Cwm.

-It's none-other-than Roy Noble!

-Would you like to own Katherine

-Jenkins' bag or Bryn Terfel's tie?

-It all goes under the hammer in less

-than a month at the Eisteddfod...

-..and all proceeds

-go to Save The Children.

-It's an important year

-for Sir Gareth Edwards.

-It's 50 years since he won his

-first cap for Wales and he turns 70.

-Fellow players and commentators call

-him the world's best rugby player.

-He won 50 caps for Wales and played

-for the Lions in 1971 and 1974.

-Rhodri met Gareth and Maureen

-and chatted with their friends.

-You haven't thought of your birthday

-as you've been watching the Lions!

-Yes, the last few weeks have

-been great to watch all the tests...

-..and remember those times

-when I played there myself.

-I was in Gareth's shadow 28 times

-but it was an honour to be there.

-He was quick, strong

-and was excellent at passing.

-His kicking was the best amongst

-any outside-half or scrum-half.

-I can't believe it's ten years since

-we sat here for his 60th birthday.

-At that time, you told me

-that he needed to slow down.

-And he's busier than ever so

-it's like talking to a brick wall!

-I don't go out of my way

-to keep busy...

-..but there's things to do

-and I have a lot of friends.

-I've stayed in contact with him

-more than any other player.

-He came into himself in 1974.

-He ruled rugby on

-an international scale in 1974...

-..when he was in South Africa

-with the Lions.

-I don't know

-where the years have gone.

-I don't mean the last ten years

-but the last 50 years!

-I realize I'm doing too much when

-I don't have time to go fishing!

-Has he changed at all

-over the decades?

-No, I don't think so because

-he's still as stupid as he ever was.

-He was always out of the ordinary

-and knew what he wanted to do.

-I knew what he was like.

-The world's journalists

-held a poll for the best player...

-..and Gareth Owen Edwards

-was at the top of that list!

-Two tries always spring to mind.

-There's the try for the Barbarians

-that has been played over and over.

-We also have that photograph

-when he's caked in mud...

-..after running most of the pitch

-to score against Scotland.

-People often ask me about Gareth

-Edwards, the man, not the player.

-The two things that spring to mind

-is your charity work and family.

-It's quite a feat to make room

-for both in your busy life.

-I realize that I've been lucky

-in my career...

-..having played for my country

-and travelled the world.

-By doing that, you understand

-that some people are less fortunate.

-I love spending time with my family

-more than anything.

-I've always been Dad and not

-Gareth Edwards, the rugby player!

-Gareth is one of three and I'm one

-of five and we all see each other.

-Our two sons live nearby with

-our grandsons and granddaughter.

-Life is wonderful.

-Gareth and Maureen

-have always been kind to me.

-He deserves the title

-of Sir Gareth Edwards.

-Gareth and Maureen

-are a wonderful partnership.

-They keep you grounded.

-Maureen had the same upbringing

-and has always supported me.

-Somehow or other,

-he will always make time for people.

-Yes, definitely

-and it's lovely to watch.

-He won't turn away from anyone

-who asks for his autograph.

-How would describe him to someone

-who knows nothing about him?

-Hard work!

-No, I don't mean that.

-Is there something you haven't done

-but want to do in the next decade?

-I don't know

-where the time has gone.

-It only feels like yesterday when

-I was 21 on my first Lions Tour.

-I look back and pinch myself

-and wonder how I've been so lucky.

-I don't want to look forward

-too much or ask for too much.

-I hope to keep my health

-so I can compete and play some golf.

-As we look ahead to your birthday...

-..everyone on Heno wishes you a very

-happy birthday with some bubbles!

-We also thank you for being

-such a gentleman all the time.

-Thank you very much.

-Happy 70th birthday

-to Sir Gareth Edwards for tomorrow.

-Roy Noble is my studio guest

-this evening.

-Welcome to the programme.

-Thank you.

-You've met Sir Gareth Edwards

-many times, Roy.

-It was lovely to hear Maureen

-talking about her husband.

-She's from the same background

-as me.

-Happy birthday to Gareth.

-I've been there too!

-We've done the same things...

-..but he's been around the world

-playing rugby.

-We would often go around the place

-with our lady friends.

-We would go to the mines too.

-Gareth Edwards spoke about fishing

-and you shared the river with him.

-Let's see a clip of when Roy

-met Sir Gareth in 1996.

-I'm told that fish are like men.

-It's only the excitable ones

-that get caught!

-This is the worst weather

-for fishing, Roy.

-The sun is high

-and the water is low and clear.

-The best thing to do is to have

-a glass of wine and some bread.

-Alright, but after one last flick!

-I haven't broken a record.

-Over the years, I haven't disturbed

-the fish and they've ignored me too!

-That was from 1996

-on the River Towy.

-I only caught a chair!

-He's a great fisherman.

-He has more pleasure catching

-a salmon...

-..than scoring a try for Wales.

-When he played for the Barbarians...

-..the site had a bomb warning.

-They were still searching for the

-bomb when he scored.

-I don't think Gareth Edwards

-has appeared on Pobol y Cwm.

-You appeared on our small screens

-in a new guise as an actor...

-..when you featured in an important

-storyline on Pobol y Cwm.

-It was great to appear

-on Pobol y Cwm.

-I did appear on Hapus Dyrfa

-many years ago.

-Pobol y Cwm has a lot

-of experienced actors.

-I think it was all in the perm!

-People are still talking

-about my perm.

-My character was very colourful.

-He was full of lies!

-A lot of famous faces have had

-cameos on Pobol y Cwm.

-Bryn Fon and John Ogwen have

-appeared on Pobol y Cwm recently.

-It's an honour to be part

-of the iconic soap opera.

-I was stunned to be asked

-to appear in Hapus Dyrfa.

-It was amazing to appear

-in Pobol y Cwm.

-It was embarrassing when you read

-the scripts...

-..as it's written by a Northwalian!

-Wimbledon is well underway.

-We want to bring Wimbledon to your

-garden with our special competition.

-Yvonne has the details.

-of the excitement at Wimbledon.

-of a male voice choir.

-Save The Children helps families

-in the poorest parts of the world...

-..including Wales.

-This year, the charity asked the

-public to donate various items...

-..to be sold on the Eisteddfod Maes.

-Yesterday, the lorry

-started its journey to North Wales.

-We're here

-to set a large lorry on its way...

-..from Barry to Bodedern

-and the National Eisteddfod.

-It's being loaded with bags

-from our supporters in South Wales.

-A Barry businessman donated a lorry

-to carry the garments to Anglesey.

-The load will be sold

-on the Eisteddfod Maes next month.

-On Wednesday, there will

-be another special auction.

-The public has donated bags...

-..but we also contacted celebrities

-from Wales for their donations.

-We had an incredible response.

-Jenny Ogwen, the glamorous former

-weather girl was happy to help.

-I'm going to donate this bag.

-I used it for Royal Ascot...

-..and the 2017 Women in Wales

-Luncheon at the Swalec Stadium...

-..where we raised 30,000

-for the charity.

-It's an incredible amount

-to raise in one afternoon.

-The auction will have lots that were

-loved and worn by Welsh celebrities.

-It's a wonderful idea as you could

-buy Katherine Jenkins' bag...

-..or a necklace

-owned by Sian Phillips.

-Bryn Terfel has donated a tie...

-..and there's items from Dafydd

-Iwan, Jonathan Pryce and many more.

-There's presenters

-from the BBC and Radio Cymru...

-..and actors from Pobol y Cwm

-and Rownd a Rownd...

-..and the presenters of Heno

-and Prynhawn Da.

-I delivered the team's donations.

-Ties, a dress, a scarf, a hat Mam-gu

-had knitted for me and a tent!

-All the money from this bag

-goes to Save The Children...

-..and that's the most

-important thing for me!

-It's an honour to set the lorry

-on its way from Barry to Bodedern.

-Good luck with the campaign

-at the Eisteddfod.

-We hope to raise a lot for of Save

-The Children in Wales and abroad.

-It isn't too late

-to donate to the cause.

-This bag is going in the post to

-arrive at the Eisteddfod in time!

-Roy Noble has been my studio guest

-this evening.

-Would you like to donate anything

-to Save The Children, Roy?

-As a young man

-when I had hot blood...

-..I was a referee!

-I was nothing like Nigel Owens.

-I wasn't even in the grass roots.

-I've got a shirt

-that I'll get signed...

-..and pass it to Save The Children.

-You were in good company before the

-programme.

-I met Prince Charles earlier.

-We were at the Royal Mint.

-He'd been to Caerphilly and was

-going to Craig-y-Nos.

-Tomorrow, you can see how Daf and I

-enjoyed learning new instruments...

-..as part

-of the Ceredigion Music Service.

-We close in Caernarfon with Elin to

-see what they have for us tomorrow.

-If we're lucky, the Caernarfon Male

-Voice Choir might sing for us too!

-Thank you, Mari.

-On tomorrow night's Heno...

-..Gerallt enjoys himself and samples

-the latest beer from Bragdy Lleu.

-The Caernarfon Male Voice Choir

-is going to sing us out...

-..with Caernarfon by Meirion

-MacIntyre Huws and Robat Arwyn.

-# I know of many who know you well

-# They know the faces at the Black

-in the afternoon

-# They know the ladies

-who make the sandwiches

-# The ladies

-who keep your heart healthy

-# But few will know

-your right and your hand

-# That know every stone

-and each crack in the pavement

-# Caernarfon, you're old

-# Caernarfon, you're beautiful

-# Caernarfon, you're full

-of pearls to inspire each poet

-# You're more than a town to me,

-you're more than a town to me
