Letter: Welsh anthem
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: With reference to Clare Garner's article " 'Dirge-like' anthem hitting the wrong note" (13 August) I should like to point out that "Men of Harlech" is not the Welsh national anthem.
The Welsh anthem is "Land of my Fathers", or to give it its correct Welsh title, "Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadhau", as any rugby spectator would gladly point out, given that this beautiful song receives its most frequent airing at Cardiff Arms Park.
