Guardian Family a ddywedodd:Snapshot
The youngest protester
It was 1962, we lived in north Wales and according to the caption in the local paper, Y Cymro, at three and a half years old I was the youngest on the march.
I'm on my father's shoulders; my mother would have been at home with my two baby sisters.
Both my parents were leftwingers: my mum, Isabel, a communist from Chiswick, London; my dad, Elwyn, a socialist from Merionethshire. I was brought up to believe that, while it may seem pointless to some, going on demonstrations was an important part of registering one's disapproval of government policies (as well as voting!).
Ten years later, I was involved in the protests that led to the establishment of the National Union of School Students at Parrs Wood high in Manchester.
Nowadays I rap with Welsh language electro-dub duo Llwybr Llaethog, and have released songs condemning Britain's involvement in the Middle East.
I'm still protesting against bombs, wars and inequalities, and this photograph shows where I'm from, in that respect. Pity my mum wasn't in the photo too.
