English: Thank you. I think as the invitation has been laid down well in advance, I don't think I've got any excuse for failing to attend now. Jayne, thank you very much for that, and I think it does show that we all actually have a role here to play locally in the events that we attend and the events that we organise in the way that we actually celebrate the lives of older people, and the contribution that they make. We need to keep on doing this, because I think it's a bit of a 'We are winning, but we've got to do it more often in order to turn round these negative connotations that are often portrayed in the media about older people' - that they are a burden, and so on. Actually, if we didn't have these older people who are volunteering, who are looking after their children, looking after their loved ones, who are doing so much, who are running community transport schemes, who are working in food banks, who are doing the school runs, and so on, we'd fall apart, quite frankly - we really would. But it's also the wisdom and experience that comes. There's a role for older people - I have to say this as somebody who's just passed 55 - in being part of the bedrock of those communities. It's not institutional wisdom; it's that community wisdom. They've see a few years under their belt and, actually, you're touching on that intergenerational aspect. There are wins both ways. We increasingly see it from well-known, high-profile initiatives such as Pimp my Zimmer, to the exchanges where older people go into schools and do reading classes and assist teachers assistants within classes, but also younger people going into residential homes. The engagement is fantastic to see, and there are wins both ways - younger people going from school, sometimes as part of the Welsh bac, to actually talk through memories with people who are experiencing dementia, and to work with them on that. There are so many wins with it. We all have a role to play, and I pick up the cudgel. I'm sure that my office team who'll be listening to this debate will have heard the invitation for next year, and will be putting it eagerly into the diary. I'd be keen to come along, and I've been to that centre several times. Most recently, I was there with a large group of older persons organisations - and younger people as well - talking about the issues of loneliness and isolation. So, I'd happily look at coming to that next year, but thank you very much for your approach to it. I know that John, your colleague in Newport, has said the same as well: we all have a role to play in celebrating older people.
Welsh: Diolch. Gan fod y gwahoddiad wedi dod ymhell o flaen llaw, nid wyf yn credu y bydd gennyf i unrhyw esgus dros beidio â mynd yno nawr. Jayne, diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am hyn, ac rwyf i o'r farn fod hynny'n dangos bob gennym ni i gyd mewn gwirionedd ran i'w chwarae yn lleol yn y digwyddiadau a fynychwn ni a'r digwyddiadau a drefnwn ni yn y ffordd yr ydym mewn gwirionedd yn dathlu bywydau pobl hŷn, a'r cyfraniad a wnânt. Mae angen parhau â hyn, oherwydd rydym ar y blaen, ond mae'n rhaid i ni wneud fel hyn yn amlach er mwyn gwyrdroi'r cysylltiadau negyddol hyn a bortreadir yn aml yn y cyfryngau am bobl hŷn - eu bod yn faich, ac ati. Mewn gwirionedd, heb y bobl hŷn hyn sy'n gwirfoddoli, sy'n gofalu am eu plant, yn edrych ar ôl eu hanwyliaid, sy'n gwneud cymaint, sy'n rhedeg cynlluniau trafnidiaeth cymunedol, sy'n gweithio mewn banciau bwyd, sy'n hebrwng plant i'r ysgol, ac yn y blaen, byddai pethau'n disgyn yn ddarnau, a dweud y gwir - byddent wir. Ond hefyd mae'n ymwneud â'r doethineb a'r profiad. Mae swyddogaeth ar gyfer pobl hŷn - mae'n rhaid dweud hyn fel rhywun sydd newydd droi 55 oed - wrth fod yn rhan o sylfaen y cymunedau hynny. Nid doethineb sefydliadol mohono; y doethineb cymunedol yw hwn. Mae ganddyn nhw flynyddoedd o brofiad ac, mewn gwirionedd, rydych chi'n cyffwrdd ar yr agwedd ryng-genedlaethol honno. Mae modd ennill ym mhob ffordd. Rydym yn gweld hyn fwyfwy yn sgil mentrau enwog, proffil uchel fel Pimp my Zimmer, a chynlluniau cyfnewid lle mae pobl hŷn yn mynd i mewn i ysgolion a dosbarthiadau darllen a helpu cynorthwywyr athrawon o fewn dosbarthiadau, ond hefyd bobl iau sy'n mynd i gartrefi preswyl. Mae'r ymgysylltiad hwn yn beth gwych i'w weld, ac mae enillion ym mhob ffordd - pobl iau yn mynd o'r ysgol, weithiau fel rhan o Fagloriaeth Cymru, i siarad am atgofion gyda phobl sy'n dioddef dementia, ac yn gweithio gyda nhw yn hynny o beth. Ceir nifer fawr o enillion yn sgil hyn. Mae gan bawb ohonom ran i'w chwarae, ac rwy'n cefnogi'r achos. Rwy'n siŵr y bydd tîm fy swyddfa i sy'n gwrando ar y ddadl hon wedi clywed y gwahoddiad ar gyfer y flwyddyn nesaf, ac yn ei roi yn y dyddiadur gydag arddeliad. Byddaf yn awyddus iawn i fynd yno, ac rwyf wedi bod yn y ganolfan honno sawl gwaith. Yn fwyaf diweddar, roeddwn yno gyda grŵp mawr o sefydliadau pobl hŷn - a phobl iau hefyd - yn sôn am faterion unigrwydd a theimlo'n ynysig. Felly, byddaf yn hapus i geisio dod i'r digwyddiad hwnnw'r flwyddyn nesaf, ond diolch yn fawr iawn i chi am eich agwedd tuag at hyn. Gwn fod John, eich cydweithiwr yng Nghasnewydd, wedi dweud yr un peth hefyd: mae gennym ni i gyd ran i'w chwarae wrth ddathlu pobl hŷn.
