"When they were in the process of dredging the harbour here they discovered the remains of a mammoth. Lord Stanley presented them to the Natural History Museum in London.

I went there recently but they weren't on display. So I spoke to a worker there in the hope of finding them. We got really hot and sweaty hunting through the storage rooms of the museum until we found them in a cupboard. There is a molar and part of the mandible. There's a local effort now to bring the bones back to Holyhead and display them here.

What's really incredible is the thought of something like a mammoth roaming the area. There was a photo of some mammoths superimposed onto the breakwater in the local paper. One person came up to me in all seriousness and pointed out that the breakwater wouldn't have been built in that period!

A significant event happened here a few months ago. The Commonwealth Games baton, which was making its journey through Anglesey, arrived in Holyhead from Ireland to a great welcome. The Australians who brought it were made up with the town and with the people. They said it was one of the best receptions they'd had anywhere, and I don't think they were just saying this to be polite.

The point I make, which is entirely biased, is that I think this is the best place in the world. You can't beat the people.

We all know each other's business and we don't mind. That's nice. There's a lot of good people doing a lot of good things in this town."
