March 1 is St David's Day. He is the patron saint of Wales so it is a Welsh National Day. You are supposed to wear a daffodil as a buttonhole. Unfortunately, except in the mildest years, my earliest daffodils are not in flower for another week or so, so it is either a bought flower imported from the Scilly Isles or a plastic one sold in aid of the Marie Curie cancer charity. Often young children go to school in national costume.
