Hundreds of people have gathered at the Senedd for the end of Walk on Wales - a charity trek by soldiers, family and friends.

11 relay teams have taken part in the walk which began on 25th August and travelled around the Welsh coastal path.

Walk on Wales is a charity set up by two veteran Welsh guards who served in the Falklands War.

The baton is inscribed with the names of the 50 Welsh Guardsmen who have died serving their country since the end of the Second World War.

The charity hopes to raise £1m for the Welsh Guards Afghanistan Appeal and Combat Stress.
