Daw'People from across Wales are being urged to take part in a series of events being organised to mark St David's Day in Cardiff . A Parade, the motto of which is 'If You Love Wales You Should Be There', will take place in Wales ' capital to mark the celebration of the country's patron saint on March 1. More than 2,000 people took part in 2007 and it is hoped that as March 1st falls on a Saturday this year, even more will take part in 2008 to show their pride in being Welsh and celebrate the country's unique heritage and history.

The day of events, which have the backing of the National Assembly for Wales and Cardiff Council, will begin at 11am with the Wales National St David's Day Service hosted by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff Cllr Gill Bird at Llandaff Cathedral.

The activity then moves to the city centre with anyone wanting to take part in the Parade being asked to arrive in front of the steps of the National Museum for Wales at 12.45pm for a short opening ceremony, before the parade begins at 1.15pm.

The Parade will follow a route along St Mary Street , Custom House Street, Bute St , Lloyd George Avenue and 'The Flourish' before passing in front of the Millennium Centre and around the Pierhead Building to finish at the Senedd at approximately 2.15pm. A number of bands will take part in the Parade including the Bagad Penhars and Bagad Nantes from Brittany and the Cambria Drum Band from Flintshire. The Welsh Horse from Llandeilo will also be joinig the Parade. All those who take part will be encouraged to learn the words to a song that has been specially written for the parade, "Cenwch y Clychau I Dewi - Ring Out the Bells for St David." When the marchers reach the Senedd in the Bay they will be welcomed by the Presiding Officer of the National Assembly, and the Fitzalan School Steel Band.
