Astronaut Tim Peake touched down in Cardiff Bay to give schoolchildren from across Wales a first-hand account of life in space.

He was at Techniquest to tell more than 200 pupils about life onboard the International Space Station (ISS) and his time since returning to Earth.

During his six month stint in space, he was very active on social media and even tweeted a St. David's Day message to the people of Wales.
