Mark Drakeford was given a standing ovation as he spoke about carrying on with the "intolerable burden of grief" during his conference speech.
The First Minister of Wales was speaking at the Welsh Labour spring conference in Llandudno. In the piece he spoke about his childhood while saying that the UK needed to ditch first part the post, remake the Union while comparing Boris Johnson to the Roman emperor Nero.
Mr Drakeford's wife Clare died unexpectedly at the end of January. He didn't address what he and his family had been through until the very end of the speech. He thanked people for all the kind messages he had received.
