Eleri took myself and some of the boys off this morning to nearby Primrose Hill to see the unveiling of a plaque. The plaque is to commemorate the fact that on June 21, 1792, the first modern eisteddfod took place there. The BBC's Huw Edwards introduced proceedings and various others, led by the deputy archdruid took part, including Rhian Medi who unveiled the memorial plaque to the founder of the modern eisteddfod Iolo Morganwg that is now a permanent feature of the site. It has taken the work of many people to get this organised and thankfulness was expressed for all their efforts. One of Iolo's descendants was present as a guest of honour. Things bardic look a bit strange but then so do most such ceremonies and it was nice to be in on one and understand most of what was going on.
