Google has paid homage to St David's Day with a new doodle added to its homepage.
The search engine giant has replaced its familiar multi-coloured Google logo with a dragon breathing fire surrounded by daffodils.
Welsh tapestry in yellow and green surrounds the Google logo.
March 1 is a celebration of St David's Day to mark the feast day of the patron saint of Wales. Tradition has it that St David died on March 1 589AD.
St David was born into a royal household in Ceredigion and devoted his life to Christianity, founding a Celtic monastery in the west of Pembrokeshire at a spot then known as Glyn Rhosyn (The Vale of Roses) where St David's Cathedral city stands today.
His fame as a teacher spread throughout the Celtic world and St David's became an important shrine throughout the centuries, and was known by the famous Wessex King Alfred and Norman invader William the Conquereror who visited St David's to pray.
The drawing has been placed on Google’s homepage for the UK, but other countries will see alternative doodles today.
The St David’s Day Google drawing has been met with a warm response online.
