BBC: First Minister Carwyn Jones thanked Yes for Wales supporters after the result became a foregone conclusion.
Wales has said a resounding Yes in the referendum on direct law-making powers for the assembly.
Almost all 22 Welsh counties have declared, and all except one, Monmouthshire, backed change. Turnout is provisionally put at 35%.
As celebrations began, First Minister Carwyn Jones said: "This has been a Yes vote across the whole of Wales."
A Yes vote will give the assembly direct law-making power in 20 devolved areas, such as health and education.
With only a couple of counties left to declare, the final result is now a formality. >>> | Friday, March 04, 2011
