80 children with amazing teachers from across Wales represented our nation today in song for @Charles_HRH and Queen Camilla. All the schools that took part were a credit. Diolch @SeneddCymru for inviting us.

Today it’s the new @nyaw_ccic National Youth Brass Band of Wales that are in action at @theCentre. This year’s band is twice the size of last year, and is sounding fantastic already, directed by Dutch conductor Erik Janssen.
