What’s On This Weekend – Friday 9th – Sunday 11th
Friday and Saturday – 4:30 – 7pm – Llandudno
On the evenings of the 9th and 10th November, the Llandudno branch of the Royal British Legion and the Home Front Museum will be projecting photographs of the local lads who died in the First World War onto an external wall at St John’s Church, as part of #Thankyou100.
Over 200 Llandudno and Penrhynside men were killed in the First World War and we want to remember them as more than just names on brass plaques.
It will be very poignant to see the “faces of the fallen” looking down Mostyn Street once again.
