Touch your forelocks get out your Union Jacks because we have the news that the Second Severn Crossing is to be renamed The Prince of Wales Bridge, it has been announced.
The renaming of the crossing, which will take place later this year, will mark Prince Charles’ 70th birthday year.
The prince will visit Wales later this year for a special ceremony to mark the change in name, The Queens Governor SSecretary of State for Wales Alun Cairns has announced.It is also 60 years since he became the Prince of Wales.
Mr Cairns said:

It shows the renaming is all part of Cairns and the Tories (and Indeed Labour) plan to divide in two and absorb the South into a Bristol Dominated South West England and the North under Liverpool.
There a joke that the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant should be renamed The Princess Camilla, because it comes between, The Prince of Wales Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil and the Princess of Wales in Bridgend,
But it is not so funny when you realise that we have far to many hospitals and other buildings named after our Imperial masters and there is an argument that it can actually be dangerous. The Royal Glamorgan Hospital - Royal Gwent which one are you being taken in an ambulance?
When Wales becomes Independent and even a Republic we are going to have to do a lot post-imperial renaming .
Alas the Prince of Wales bridge will rename, but then t may be a reminder f our shame in bowing down to England's Royal Family

Mr Cairns said:
“I’m delighted to announce that – with the agreement of the Prime Minister and Her Majesty The Queen – the Second Severn Crossing will be renamed the Prince of Wales Bridge.But oddly it is not the Quassi Colonial rhetoric of Cairns that is the most offensive because we are used to it.
“The announcement is a fitting tribute to His Royal Highness in a year that sees him mark 60 years as the Prince of Wales and decades of continued dedicated service to our nation.
“Renaming one of the most iconic landmarks in Wales is a fitting way to formally recognise his commitment and dedication to Wales and the UK as the Prince of Wales.

“We look forward to marking the occasion at a special event later this year when the new Prince of Wales Bridge and its sister bridge will be seen as positive symbols of a newly invigorated economic and social partnership between south Wales and south west England and the strength of the United Kingdom.”
