The Gorsedd - Cardiff (1938)

Cardiff, Wales. Various shots on a rainy day show the “quaint and historical rites“ at the start of the National Eisteddfod of Wales. A large crowd watches the Procession of the Bards for Gorsedd at the Logan Stone in the grounds of Cardiff Castle. A man in flowing robes standing on the stone plays a fanfare on a trumpet, then another man makes a short speech to a man in Welsh (?). Yet another man in robes conducts the crowd as they sing a traditional Welsh song. FILM ID: A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL, BRITISH PATHÉ TV.
