WELSH nationalists announced today the next march for independence will take place in Barry, south Wales, on April 26.

YesCymru and AUOBCymru (All Under One Banner) have chosen Barry as it played a role in the Cymru Fydd (Young Wales) movement of the 1890s, which championed Welsh home rule and self-governance. 

The first Welsh branch of Cymru Fydd was formed in Bethel Chapel, Cadoxton, in 1892, and Cymru Fydd members won seats in Barry’s first council elections in 1894.
