In a statement earlier today, First Minister Eluned Morgan expressed deep sadness over the passing of Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas, describing him as a true giant of Welsh politics and a passionate advocate for Wales.
Lord Elis-Thomas, who passed at the age of 78, played a significant role in shaping the nation, serving as the first Presiding Officer of the National Assembly for Wales and contributing to both Houses of Parliament.
He played a significant role in Welsh politics, serving as his party's leader, an MP, and a member of the House of Lords. Elis-Thomas was also the first presiding officer of the Senedd and helped establish a modern democracy in Wales.
He was also known for his dedication to Welsh culture and language.
His loss is mourned by many, and his legacy will continue to inspire future generations.
