St David's Day
Katherine Jenkins visits St David’s College, Lampeter, now part of the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, where higher education began in Wales 200 years ago. She meets the vice-chancellor, Professor Medwin Hughes, and students from around the world including a group from St Vincent and the Grenadines. They have been offered scholarships to study at the college after their island was devastated by a volcanic eruption. \n\nJames Lusted digs up leeks on David Shepherd’s farm on the Gower Peninsular and finds out from the Rev Melda Grantham why some Welsh people wear a leek rather than a daffodil to mark St David’s Day. \n\nLast year a bronze statue of Betty Campbell, the first black head teacher in Wales, was unveiled in Cardiff city centre following a public vote to recognise a hidden heroine. Her daughter Elaine Clarke and sculptor Eve Shepherd explain how faith shaped this remarkable woman. \n\nWe have hymns and from around Wales, including Betty Campbell’s favourite song Something Inside So Strong performed by The Kingdom Choi, and for St David’s Day, Cath Woolridge and Mal Pope perform Hymn for Our Nation (God Bless Wales).
