i Am watching a program on S4C abount Grav and it Had a clip of the all blacks game in llanelli .And it showed The Band and drums of the royal Welch fusiliers Marching in the town . Was any of the older drummers there on that famous day .

31 October 1972 to be exact. RWF Band & Drums not only marched through Llanelli but played on pitch before match including, of course, Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nadhau and God Defend New Zealand. Archive footage of the game shows clips of them. Great Welshman, role model for many, and should be for many others, sadly missed.

The version of Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nadhau used as the backing music for this tribute is amazing, it makers me want to join a choir again.
