Hello. I am Daniel from Cardiff, the capital of Wales. I like our national symbol, the daffodil. You can see lots of people with this flower on our National Day, March the First. We call it Saint David's Day. The major tourist attractions in the city are Millennium Stadium and the Cardiff Castle. If you like music, come to Cardiff for the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, a world renowned event on the opera calendar which is held every two years.

My name's Sophie. I live in Edinburgh, Scotland. I was born on November thirtieth, which is National Day here, called also Saint Andrew's Day. The history of our symbol, Thistle, is very interesting. It was chosen not for its beauty, but for its long sharp pricks. When I was small, I thought that bagpipes playing in the street, dancing and singing, were to say Happy Birthday to me. But actually it's Happy Birthday to Scotland. One of the landmarks of my city is Edinburgh Castle. It's built on an extinct volcano. This fortress is a powerful national symbol. Don't miss the opportunity to see it while you are in Edinburgh.

Hi, I'm Tamsin from London, England. My city is not only the capital of England, but of all of the UK. There are dozens of places of interest in London.
