THE NATIONAL FLAG

There are many stories about this flag, but

the most significant is in 1485, King Henry
VII brought this flag during expansion to
England. The background colors (white,
green) are the colors of the tudor dynasty,
the dynasty of King Henry VII (he is a
Welsh). During the time of Henry VII won
the throne by defeating King Richard III.
And of course this flag has been used for
centuries. Also the red dragon is the
national animal of Whels.
THE NATIONAL SYMBOL (THE DAFFODIL AND THE LEEK)

 Leeks are one of the ancient traditions of welsh

men during the war, where soldiers wore leeks
in their hats to distinguish themselves from the
enemy and it continues to be used until it
becomes a tradition.
 The flower appeared in early spring, around the
time of St David's Day. Lloyd George wore the
daffodil on this day and encouraged its use at
the investiture of the Prince of Wales in 1911.
This continued important aspects of the earlier
leek custom as a symbol of a distinctive Welsh
identity, but offered a more pleasant-smelling
alternative.
