Wales has its own culture and its own language and also its own holidays and music.
The Welsh symbol is a Red Dragon but it has other emblems such as the Leek and the Daffodil but the Red Dragon is the main symbol/emblem for Wales.
The Welsh dragon is the oldest symbol of Wales, this symbol is still often seen as a shorthand for all things Welsh. The symbol was used by Henry VII at the battle Bosworth in 1485. It was also included into the Tudor Royal Army to signify that they were Welsh.
The Welsh dragon symbol is used for many different emblems for Welsh Government, Cardiff, Newport, Newport Gwent Dragons, Cardiff City FC.
The Leek is another national symbol for wales, which comes from the legend of St. David how he ordered the Welsh soldiers to identify themselves by wearing the Leek in the battle of the Saxons. The Leeks is still worn today to remember St. Davids day on March 1st.
The Daffodil is the national flower of Wales and it is also worn on St. Davids day.
