The Golden Dragon
In this special film for Saint David's Day, Eddie Butler takes us on a romp through Welsh history to discover the very first Welsh dragon flag, as we know it today. The Old Glory of Wales, the very first Red Dragon on a green and white background. And how it played a key part at a crucial moment not just in the history of Wales, but of the United Kingdom.
