About this film
On 2 June 1982, crowds gathered in Cardiff to see the late Saint Pope John Paul II become the first reigning Pope to visit Wales. The pontiff's message in Welsh of "Bendith Duw arnoch" - "the blessing of God be on you" - was received with enthusiastic applause from the crowds gathered in Pontcanna Fields. Archive Footage news footage from an old 1982 VHS Tape I found. Preserved for historical purposes.
