Thousands of people take to the streets to march for Welsh independence

Eight thousand Welsh Independence campaigners marched in Wrexham on Saturday afternoon to again call for separation from the United Kingdom. It was the first time a demonstration of its kind took place in Wales since events in Cardiff, Merthyr and Caernarfon in 2019.

The event was organised by All Under One Banner (AUOB) Cymru, Indy Fest Wrexham and YesCymru. The crowd donned red clothing and sang and chanted as they marched from Llwyn Isaf and continued through the city centre to Wrexham Civic Centre.

After the march, a rally took place at the civic centre with speakers such as Dafydd Iwan, Pol Wong from IndyFest Wrexham, poet and activist Evrah Rose, comedian and broadcaster Tudur Owen, Wrexham County Councillor Carrie Harper and Archdruid Myrddin ap Dafydd.
