The Senedd, the home of the National Assembly for Wales, has welcomed its millionth visitor.

Samantha Hailes from Cardiff was greeted by the Rosemary Butler AM, Presiding Officer for the National Assembly for Wales and presented with a certificate and given a tour of the building.

"I was delighted to welcome Samantha as the millionth visitor to the Senedd," said Rosemary Butler.

"Since opening six years ago, the Senedd has been an iconic building which attracts visitors and admirers from all over the world.

"At its very heart lie the principles accessibility, transparency and sustainability.

"These are three ideals which are woven into the very fabric of the building in the same way as they are woven into the work of the National Assembly in representing the people of Wales."

The Senedd, which was officially opened by the Her Majesty the Queen on St David's Day in 2006, has become a landmark building in Cardiff's prestigious bay development and is recognised the world over.
