On receiving the medal, Dr. Guy said:

“It is a great honour indeed for my work to be recognised in this way. Having grown up in Wales, I have always been motivated to learn more about its fascinating history and culture.

“I hope that I can inspire others to seek a deeper understanding of this beautiful yet complex land.”

Dr Sharon Thompson and Dr Joey Whitfield (both of Cardiff University) were also highly commended by the Medal Committee.
