The daughter of Sir Tasker Watkins, the war hero and former president of the Welsh Rugby Union, has unveiled a statue in his honour at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.

Sir Tasker, who died in 2007, was awarded the Victoria Cross at the age of 25 for his valour in World War II, and went on to a distinguished career in the law.

His daughter, Lady Mair Griffith-Williams, unveiled the statue, spoke to Tomos Dafydd, and current WRU president Dennis Gethin spoke to Rhodri Lewis.
