The annual Corpus Christi procession in Cardiff (May/June) brought together huge numbers of Catholics to celebrate the Eucharist – the wafer or 'host' believed to manifest the body of Christ during the Mass. Crowds of spectators gathered along the route through the city to the castle grounds. It is all too much for one girl who is helped by the St John's Ambulance volunteers. Between processions, Carmel Brenig Jones and friends are seen jiving away on her birthday (August).
