SteveH:
Preparations are well and truly underway for Armed Forces Day event in Llandudno as it draws closer.

Excitement has been building after it was revealed the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, would be attending the event in Llandudno.

The Royal Family website said: "The Princess Royal will attend Armed Forces Day Commemorations at Venue Cymru, Promenade, Llandudno."

While it is yet to be confirmed, Theresa May could also be set to make an appearance at the event, that will take place on Saturday June 30, with the Prime Minister having attended every national Armed Forces Day event since they began 10 years ago.

Outgoing Llandudno Mayor, councillor Francis Davies, said: "It is an honour to be able to hold this event, we beat off some strong competition from prominent towns and cities.

"We can't believe our luck to get this prestigious event in our town. I am really looking forward to it."

The Royal Airforce's Red Arrows have also been confirmed as making an appearance on the day.

Conwy County Borough Council corporate events, customer and marketing manager, Rachael Gill, said: "Planning is well and truly underway and it is going very well.

"It is going to be an amazing day for Llandudno and North Wales. There will be lots to see and lots to do on the day."

More than 250,000 people are expected to attend the tenth annual national Armed Forces Day in Llandudno which could see an economy boost of about £4 million.

The event, which is held as a thank you to the Royal Navy, Army, Royal Air Force, and veterans, will be staged from June 25 to July 1.
The week of events will include a flag-raising ceremony, Reserves’ Day, a gala dinner at Venue Cymru, and military parade on the main day in Llandudno on June 30.

Having seen a plan of the road closures ---------------how can people get into the town?

norman08:
They have only had nearly 12 months to organise this ,the whole prom is closed off wonder where all the cars coaches are going to park ,talking to some hotels they haven't been told much .🤔

Nemesis:
According to the printed map which has been issued, the road is closed before Bodafon fields and also along behind there. If they don't close it further up past Craigside all the traffic will have to turn back and go via Mochdre which it appears to be going to have to anyway . That side of the town looks completely closed. This isn't a  grumble, just common sense !

There are too many events in Llandudno needing road closures, it's as if they don't give a dam about the locals/business.
Events Conwy needs think again about how they do things. The next thing is we'll have GB Rally Wales and more road closures.
A few years ago a senior police officer told me Llandudno doesn't matter as the traffic goes nowhere, not the case if you live here.
It makes little difference to me as I don't have a car but I can see down side. CCBC needs to think how it effects the locals and business
in the town.
