Wales Herald of Arms Extraordinary (''Herodr Arbennig Cymru'' in Welsh) is a current Officer of Arms Extraordinary under the Courts of England and Wales' jurisdiction. Wales is a Royal Herald, ''ie'' a member of the Royal Household, and whilst not being a member of chapter of the College of Arms, processes with the other heralds at ceremonial occasions. Wales Herald forms an integral part of the procession when the Queen officially opens a session of the National Assembly for Wales at Cardiff Bay. There was formerly a ''Wales Herald'' in the late fourteenth century, but that office was short-lived.〔(www.cgnfhs.org.uk )〕 The post was re-established in 1963 as an Officer of Arms Extraordinary, its first appointee being Francis Jones. The badge dates from 1967 and depicts a treasured medieval Welsh possession, the ''Croes Naid''—a cross heavily gilded and jewelled and said to contain a fragment of the True Cross of Jesus Christ; it is blazoned ''Issuant from an open Royal Crown of the 13th century Or a representation of a Croes Naid also Or jewelled Proper''. The present Wales Herald of Arms Extraordinary is Thomas Lloyd, OBE, DL, FSA,〔(Wales Herald Extraordinary )〕 having succeeded Michael Siddons in 2010.〔''The Heraldry Gazette'', Issue 118, December 2010.
