THE Llandudno Ferris wheel will be taken down today (November 3) as the landmark bids farewell to the town until 2024.
It had been due to stay for the upcoming weekend before making its annual trip to Sheffield for Christmas.
But this has been brought forward due to weather forecasts amid the looming threat of Storm Ciar?n.
A Llandudno Pier/Tir Prince spokesperson said: "It?s with a heavy heart that we have to announce that the Pier Wheel will be coming down tomorrow, slightly ahead of schedule.
"We were hoping for it to be operational this weekend, however due to the forecasted weather and other commitments we have had to make the decision to commence pull down tomorrow evening.
"We will be welcoming it back early next year after it?s annual trip to Sheffield. ref pioneer
