Look at this photograph properly. These are the faces Milford Haven should be thanking right now.
The men in the yellow shirts are Milford Haven Round Table, and once again they have helped the town feel like itself again.
Carnival Day is one of those days that reminds people why Milford matters. The streets fill up. Children wave, laugh, chase balloons and wait for the next float. Families bump into old friends. People stop for a chat. For a few hours, the town has colour, noise, pride and life about it.
It feels like the Milford we remember, and the Milford we want our children to grow up with.
But days like this do not happen by accident.
Behind the scenes, these volunteers give up evenings after work and hours of their own time. They deal with the paperwork, permissions, risk assessments, road arrangements, last-minute problems and all the little jobs nobody notices unless they are not done.
They do it quietly, reliably and, most of the time, without anything like the thanks they deserve.
And it is not just Carnival.
It is the Beer Festival that brings the town together over a pint. It is Santa at Christmas, making memories for another generation of children. It is those moments in the year that people look forward to, and that families talk about long after the bunting has come down.
In a town where it is easy to hear what is wrong with Milford Haven, here are people doing something about it.
They are not waiting for someone else to make things better. They are rolling up their sleeves and giving the town reasons to come out, smile and feel proud.
Volunteers like this are easy to take for granted because they make it look easy. But it is not easy.
It is time. It is effort. It is hassle. It is stress. It is quiet dedication after full working days. It is carrying the pressure so everyone else can enjoy the day.
So let this be the loud thank you they deserve.
To Milford Haven Round Table, thank you.
Thank you for the Carnival.
Thank you for the Beer Festival.
Thank you for Santa and the Christmas cheer.
Thank you for the unseen hours, the stress you absorb, and the pride you restore.
Milford Haven was smiling because you cared enough to make it happen.
Take a bow, lads...you did the town proud.
