Hollywood actors, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, have won an award at a special Welsh concert in New York on Monday evening. The ceremony was part of a star-studded event at Sony Hall in Times Square, which was set to mark Wales' upcoming game against USA in Qatar's World Cup next week.
During the event, the pair received a special international award from the people of Wales. Since purchasing the Welsh Football club Wrexham AFC, the actors have used their global celebrity status to promote Wales and the Welsh language.
To recognise their contribution to putting Wales on a global platform, S4C partnered up with the Welsh Government, the Football Association of Wales and Urdd to present the duo with the "Diolch y Ddraig" (Dragon Award), which represented a "national appreciation for the sensitivity and respect shown by Reynolds and McElhenney to Wales".
