-Welcome back.

-Thursday is a big day

-in the horse ring...

-..especially for one of

-the Show's old faithfuls.

-He's been a familiar voice

-here for years.

-Today he stepped out

-from behind the mike...

-..and donned

-the bowler hat of the judge.

-It's a challenge

-and a thrill at the same time.

-All the horses in front of us...

-..are champions in their own right.

-What we are looking for

-is an animal in the ring...

-..that gives us a special thrill.

-One that says to us

-"Here I am, look at me".

-That's the view facing us

-at present.

-We're watching

-the In-Hand Championship.

-Charles Arch

-has his work cut out for him.

-He's adjusting and deciding

-which of these champions...

-..will win the

-Royal Welsh In-Hand Championship.

-This is clearly

-the cream of the crop here.

-It's great to have

-so many fantastic horses.

-They're all champions

-at one of the country's main shows.

-I'm sure Charles Arch will be busy.

-This junior stallion found

-it difficult to settle earlier.

-He's travelling much better now.

-Here's the Section B Champion,

-Valeur Dancing Fairy Lustre.

-Here's Talgarth Taylor,

-the Section A Champion.

-Here's one for you, Heledd.

-It's a palomino, Twrog Brenin Aur.

-He is the Palomino Champion.

-This is a little surprising,

-Hunter horses in hand.

-Bobby Jones, who usually exhibits

-in Section B.

-He has donned a bowler

-to move on to the hunter ponies.

-He is exhibiting on behalf of

-Teleri Humphreys from Machynlleth.

-Costa Lillybette,

-the best from Section C.

-There's the champion Shire Horse...

-..Sheepwash Derbyshires Eventide.

-A big name for a big horse.

-Which one will be the 2016

-Royal Welsh Show In-Hand Champion?

-The Shire Horse comes forward.

-The Section C horse too.

-Section B is brought forward.

-Section B is coming.

-Section C is out too,

-Costa Lillybette.

-We've got another one

-in the distance...

-..1535, Brookvale Celtic-Isle,

-the In-Hand Hunter Pony.

-Those are the four

-I think that Charles...

-..has chosen from the long line.

-The hat is off.

-Who will take the big prize?

-The Shire Horse takes the

-Royal Welsh In-Hand Championship!

-There we are.

-Sheepwash Derbyshires Eventide,

-the Shire Horse Champion.

-He takes the In Hand Championship...

-..at the Royal Welsh Show.

-Reserve Champion

-is the Landon family's...

-..Valeur Dancing Fairy Lustre,

-the Section B Champion.

-The Shire Horse has won

-the In Hand Championship.

-That means that another horse

-takes the Cuddy...

-..and a ticket for the Horse

-of the Year Show in Birmingham...

-..Valeur Dancing Fairy Lustre,

-winner of Section B.

-This is

-Sheepwash Derbyshires Eventide.

-The In Hand Champion

-at the 2016 Royal Welsh Show.

-He's quite a sight.

-It's very easy

-to explain this competition.

-It's the shearers

-against the axe men.

-Cutting things is the goal.

-The axe men cut trees while

-the shearers cut wool off the lambs.

-The faster the better!

-The only thing you don't want to cut

-is your toes!

-It's a bit of fun. As commentators,

-we try to get the excitement going.

-We try to create some rivalry

-between the two lots.

-It's developed a bit now.

-There's a bit of teasing going on.

-"Those shearers can't be trusted"

-and so on.

-They say that there are tactics

-going on.

-But I think that's more down

-to the axe men than the shearers.

-I've never seen a block of wood

-kicking. A sheep certainly can!

-It's easier for the shearers

-to change a few details.

-Two years ago, they decided to shear

-the bellies of all the lambs.

-Then someone pointed out there's

-more wool on a pocket handkerchief!

-Shearers just shear

-what's put in front of them.

-We'll see what the axe men do

-this afternoon.

-Stand by your logs.

-One, two, three. Go!

-Here we go, then. It's the shearers

-against the axe men.

-The axe men are from the Wye Valley.

-Daf Davies is challenging

-on behalf of the shearers.

-The axe men have taken the lead.

-Dafydd Davies

-has turned to the second pen.

-But who will be the first

-to make it to the second?

-The axe men have changed hands.

-Dafydd Davies

-has only just finished his lamb.

-Down it goes.

-Llywelyn is the second shearer.

-The axe man is already halfway.

-He's gobbling up that wood!

-The axes have come from New Zealand.

-But it's Welshmen who are taking

-each other on at the moment.

-I'm not sure

-who will split the wood first.

-It's very close.

-Llywelyn is on the home run.

-Down the final side.

-Who is going to win? It's so close!

-Llywelyn pulls the cord.

-The shearers win it!

-Only just!

-The shearers won the day

-in the intermediate section.

-They also won the senior section.

-Lloyd Rees is flying!

-Lloyd Rees is flying!

-

-It's so close!

-Lloyd Rees wins the day.

-But in the open

-and masters sections...

-..the axe men were the winners.

-The score was equal.

-Sam Saunders, the New Zealand team

-manager, is bound to be behind.

-The Kiwi on the axe has beaten

-the Kiwi on the handpiece!

-The axe men take it this time.

-Sam Saunders

-is still having some trouble.

-It's equal again at 2-2.

-Everything was at stake

-in the final.

-One, two, three, go!

-Off we go for the international race

-between shearers and axe men.

-The French are up against

-Denmark and Tasmania.

-A little kick for Jalle Resneau...

-..which gives Todd Nielson

-from Tasmania a bit of time.

-He has nearly finished.

-Watch your toes, Todd!

-Todd Nielson has finished.

-Wow, things have changed here.

-This is the Danish axe champion.

-These Reseneau women -

-I think this is the second, Jalle...

-..are shearing very fast indeed.

-The second shearer is going for it.

-They're both at it at the same time!

-Resneau has started a little early

-but no matter.

-The other one got a kick!

-He has given a chance to the axe men

-once again.

-He's the champion

-who's come all the way from Denmark.

-Elonore Resneau

-is a little bit behind.

-Jalle Resneau had a bit of a kick.

-But the axe men showed no mercy.

-It seems to me that it's 3-2

-to the axe men this time.

-A day to remember

-here at the shearing centre!

-Over the last three years,

-Welsh Black, South Devon...

-..and Hereford cattle have won

-the Native Breeds Championship.

-But which trio

-would come up trumps this year?

-Well here he is,

-Mr Boomer Birch, the judge.

-He has his work cut out.

-Yes. It's quite difficult.

-The Devon cattle

-are very impressive.

-Yes, they certainly stand out.

-It's very quiet here.

-The judge is behind the cattle.

-He's looking at

-the most important part...

-..in terms of judging their value.

-There are eight groups of three.

-The judge

-is going to select the best four.

-Do you have a preference, Deio?

-The South Devon and the Welsh Black

-stand out for me.

-For me, the Devons

-have the best group of three.

-The North Devons

-are being pulled out.

-He has selected four.

-The Welsh Blacks, the Herefords, the

-South Devons and the North Devons.

-He has made his decision...

-..on the best

-native breed group of three...

-..at the Royal Welsh Show of 2016.

-He has stayed over there

-with the Devons.

-He's going now...

-It's the Herefords, as I thought!

-He had brought them this far.

-The bull has certainly carried

-the rest of the breed here today.

-There is absolutely nothing wrong

-with the two cows.

-But the bull is exceptional.

-The South Devon Cattle

-take the reserve.

-In the final part, the Supreme

-Championship in the horse section...

-..and the Grand Parade

-brings the 2016 Royal Welsh Show...

-..to a dramatic end.

-Welcome to the Evans Brothers stall

-at the Royal Welsh.

-We're a family company...

-..founded in 1988.

-The company started

-in the farm workshop.

-When I was younger, I was interested

-in repairing tractors.

-I then began repairing

-my neighbours' tractors.

-The company's grown from that.

-We now have four branches.

-Hello, I'm Helen.

-I work for Evans Brothers.

-We've won the first prize

-for the best stall at the Show.

-We've tried to adorn the tractors

-as best we can.

-We've also done an exhibition...

-..as the Fergie is celebrating

-its 70th birthday this year.

-We've tried to show the Fergie

-in its natural habitat, so to speak.

-We've put different wild flowers

-around it.

-A Welsh family company.

-We all have a farming background.

-We know that our job

-doesn't finish at 5.00pm.

-Today is as busy a day as any.

-The boys have had a couple of days

-to do the harvest...

-..and they're having

-a day at the Show today.

-I look forward to the Show

-every year. I go for the week.

-The Show's a chance for customers

-to have a look. They have more time.

-We have more time for a chat -

-more than when we're working.

-At the Show, we have time

-to sit down and have a chat.

-Here's what's happening

-in the Main Ring.

-This is the big one,

-the real creme de la creme.

-This is the Royal Welsh

-Supreme Horse Championship.

-There are a lot of champions

-lining up to compete side by side...

-..for the Supreme Championship.

-Yes, this will be best in Show.

-Here we go, there are five champions

-in the ring.

-The Driven Champion,

-In-Hand Champion...

-..Shire Horse Champion,

-the pony is the Ridden Champion.

-That is Gryngallt Page Too.

-The white mare is the

-reserve In-Hand Champion.

-The Shire Horse

-is the In-Hand Champion.

-At the end of the line...

-..the black horse is the

-reserve Under Saddle Champion.

-I wouldn't like to be in the shoes

-of, Mrs Fetherstonhaugh, the judge.

-She is from Coed Coch, Abergele.

-I think, for me, the Children's

-Riding pony has caught my eye.

-I'm sure she's caught

-everyone else's eye too.

-We know that the judge

-is a mother and a hunter.

-And that is that pony's section.

-We'll see. What do you think?

-It's interesting.

-I'm going to stay faithful.

-I'm going to stay true.

-I'm going for the Shire Horse,

-Sheepwash Derbyshires Eventide.

-It's the big moment

-when we'll find out...

-..which of these beautiful creatures

-will be worthy of the title...

-..2016 Supreme Horse Champion

-here in Llanelwedd.

-Where will the hat go?

-Say the words, Heledd.

-Say the words.

-Well done, Rob.

-Many congratulations

-to Gryngallt Page Too.

-Here you can see...

-..the 2016 Royal Welsh Show Supreme

-Horse Champion at Llanelwedd.

-Congratulations

-to my fellow commentator, Rob Jones.

-I've got the better of you for once!

-You chose correctly.

-The reserve prize

-goes to Ciffig Cymro Du...

-..the Welsh Driving Champion

-owned by Granger and Mitchell.

-What a view!

-Here is the winner of the 2016

-Royal Welsh Agricultural Show's...

-..Supreme Horse Championship.

-It's Gryngallt Page Too.

-Emma Edwards-Brady is the owner.

-Clearly a worthy winner.

-It's been a busy week

-for many at the Show.

-One of the busiest

-was Show President, Dic Auctioneer.

-How's your week been?

-How's your week been?

-

-Very busy.

-It's been a successful Show.

-There have been demands

-on my time...

-..to see supporters of the Show.

-It's been a great experience.

-I can't believe

-I've been Show President.

-What are your highlights?

-Meeting friends I've made here

-over the years.

-I've been a steward here

-for 50 years.

-We meet up every year.

-The friendship endures.

-Your wife Linda

-has been by your side all week.

-I don't think so!

-No! He's gone one way,

-I've gone the other!

-How's your week been, Linda?

-I've enjoyed every minute...

-..meeting people

-and going around the stalls.

-It's quite an honour.

-It's quite an honour.

-

-Yes, it's a big honour.

-Congratulations to you

-on a successful week...

-..as a feature county

-and congratulations on your work.

-Aled Jones,

-the assistant chief executive...

-..you've had a very busy

-and varied week.

-Yes, it's been a week to remember.

-We work all year in our office.

-This is the highlight of our year.

-We work for months

-to prepare for the Show.

-There are so many volunteers

-involved.

-It's a thrill.

-I described it earlier this week...

-..as an event which makes

-the heart beat a little faster.

-There's an electric atmosphere

-and you're a part of it.

-You're in it for four days

-and the weeks before it.

-Is there anything specific

-that gives you that thrill?

-The people.

-When they get here...

-..there's an atmosphere in

-Llanelwedd that's hard to replicate.

-I've gone to other Shows

-and abroad...

-..but the feeling of closeness you

-get at the Show is very rare indeed.

-We should be proud of it

-as a nation.

-How would you describe

-the 2016 Show?

-A show to remember.

-A highlight, and one of the

-main successes of the 2016 Show...

-..is the fact

-that the mobile phones worked!

-My phone

-hasn't stopped ringing all week.

-You must regret it!

-Since we invested in a

-permanent mast on the Showground...

-..it's added so much

-to the network on the Showground.

-People could hardly talk

-on the phone before...

-..not to mention

-looking at videos.

-I was talking to someone

-who'd been FaceTiming someone else.

-The necessary infrastructure of

-being connected has been a success.

-Aled, thank you for your welcome

-in Llanelwedd.

-It's been a Show to remember.

-Good luck with all your events

-throughout the year.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-

-You're welcome.

-Tired, thirsty

-but healthier in colour...

-..the crowds headed home bit by bit.

-Everyone had their story

-and memories to treasure.

-This afternoon...

-..when you see all the breeds and

-animals come in to the Main Ring.

-That's the highlight

-and the main purpose of the Show.

-It brings

-the agricultural world together.

-Everyone can praise

-and celebrate that.

-The highlight for me was seeing

-an eleven-year-old...

-..win the Show's

-Supreme Championship.

-She galloped in front of the stand.

-Unbelievable.

-Wednesday afternoon saw the big test

-against New Zealand.

-Wales' new squad

-won by mere seconds.

-But one thing was more important,

-the company of Aeron Pughe.

-Fair play to you, Alun.

-How much do I owe you?

-The Charollais competition

-on Tuesday morning stands out.

-The standard was incredible.

-I've spent so much time

-in the Pig Ring.

-I'm leaving with the desire

-to start keeping my own pigs.

-I've got two little pigs

-waiting for me at home!

-What will I remember

-about this week?

-I've been coming here

-for over 40 years.

-I will never forget

-Sunday afternoon...

-..when I saw the Hereford bull

-in the shed.

-I thought to myself...

-..how many forefathers

-would be in tears watching him?

-He was superb.

-There we go. Another Show is over.

-My highlight,

-there are too many to list.

-All I can say is this, I'm looking

-forward to next year already.

-From the whole team, goodnight.
