EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming photograph captures the spirit of St. David's Day celebrations in Wales during the 1960s. The smiling Welsh schoolboys in this image proudly wear leeks as part of a long-standing tradition that dates back to the 12th century. St. David, the patron saint of Wales, is said to have worn a leek in battle, and the plant has since become a symbol of Welsh identity and pride. The boys in the photograph seem to be in high spirits as they make their way to school on this special day. Some of them wear traditional Welsh uniforms with red and green stripes, while others don ordinary school attire adorned with a single leek. Their faces are filled with amusement and joviality, as if sharing a secret or a private joke. The leeks, some fresh and green, others wilted and brown, add a playful touch to their otherwise formal attire. The boys' laughter and camaraderie create a sense of unity and belonging, reflecting the strong community spirit that is an essential part of Welsh culture. This photograph offers a glimpse into a time when traditions were deeply rooted in daily life, and the simple act of wearing a leek to school on St. David's Day was a source of pride and joy for these young boys. It is a reminder of the enduring power of customs to bring people together and foster a sense of belonging, even in the most ordinary of circumstances.
