Soldiers from the 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh will parade through Swansea, to mark their return after 6 months in Afghanistan.
It follows a memorial march in Cardiff last Friday by 1st Battalion Welsh Guards.

I urge the people of Swansea to line the parade route on Tuesday to give the soldiers the welcome home from Afghanistan they so thoroughly deserve.
