Royal Welsh Centenary Cavalcade.
In 2004, our gigante puppets dressed as Farmers Jack and Jill led the Centenary Cavalcade, a huge procession featuring the work of the RWS over the years. The Dragon ended the procession and rose up on a telehandler to unfurling the Welsh colours in front of the Royal stand.

For many years, CARAD entered large community made floats. Later, the Dragon appeared in the Carnival procession with themed attendants.
