Wildlife expert and film-maker Iolo Williams was guest speaker at a National Eisteddfod fund-raising event at King Henry VIII School in Abergavenny last week.

The star of BBC Spring/Autumn/Winter – Watch and presenter of a recent BBC Wales series on the Brecon Beacons gave an illustrated, bilingual talk on ‘Wonderful Welsh Wildlife’ to a full house in the school’s main hall.

The evening was arranged by the Abergavenny Appeal Committee for the 2016 Monmouthshire and District National Eisteddfod which will be staged in Castle Meadows between July 29 and August 6.
