| Description: | "All Wales is a sea of song." Pardie procession and ancient Gorsedd ceremony at Proclamation of Welsh National Eisteddfod's. Pontypool, Wales. L/S as people gather wearing traditional Welsh costumes and long robes. The first part of the procession apears to be wearing Medieval fashions. They are followed by a group wearing the tall black Welsh hats. A group of graduates in robes walk through with banners, followed by people in white robes. M/S of a man blowing a bugle stood next to a man in robes. Something that looks like a big pipe or horn is given to the man, he then hands it back to the woman. C/U of a baby in a big Welsh hat, very cute. The camera pans across the crowd where someone is making a speech, everyone else listens. | |
