Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus I bawb! Happy St David's Day everyone!

[Lord Tredegars Macaw]

To all those Welsh DU-ers, and those of Welsh descent, it is time to put on that rugby shirt, wear your daffodil or leek with pride, and warm up the old vocal chords: Happy St David's Day!

Following in the footsteps of such famous Welsh folk as: Dylan Thomas, Charles Stewart Rolls, Richard Burton, George Everest, Henry Morton Stanley, Ivor Novello, Lawrence of Arabia, Henry V, the Tudor dynasty, Owain Glyndwr, David Lloyd George, Roald Dahl, Bertrand Russell, Augustus John, W.H. Davies, Aneurin Bevan, Queen Elizabeth's occultist Dr John Dee, Geoffrey of Monmouth, the privateer and Lt Gov of Jamaica Sir Henry Morgan.....etc, etc, the following will be celebrating with us today:

Sir Tom Jones
Katherine Jenkins
Dame Shirley Bassie
Timothy Dalton
Sir Anthony Hopkins
Rhys Ifans
Jonathan Pryce
Roger Rees
John Rhys Davies
Michael Sheen
Catherine Zeta Jones
Griff Rhys Jones
Monty Python's Terry Jones
Charlotte Church
Christian Bale
Bryn Terfel

There are a lot of us about. To say nothing of that fine woman of Welsh descent, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

1. Me too!

As a former Monmouthshire man I heartily support this thread!

I miss the green rolling hillsides, and the welcome in the valleys.

The Irish have St Patrick's Day, and today is the Welsh version. Happy St David's Day.

Cymru am byth!

Also, the following Americans have Welsh lineage:

Humphrey Bogart
Tom Cruise
Teri Hatcher
Harold Lloyd
Leslie Nielsen
Chris Pine
Howard Hughes
J.P. Morgan (inevitably with a name like 'Morgan')

Even President Obama has distant Welsh ancestry on his mother's side.
