75th Anniversary of VJ Day
Saturday 15th August 2020 is the 75th Anniversary of Victory over Japan Day (VJ Day). Whilst VE Day marked the end of the war in Europe in May 1945, many thousands of Armed Forces personnel were still involved in bitter fighting in the Far East. Victory over Japan came at a heavy price, and VJ Day marks the day Japan surrendered on the 15 August 1945, which in effect ended the Second World War. The Mayor of Llandudno, Cllr Angela O'Grady will join millions of others cross the UK in observing the 2 minutes silence at 11.00am in a national moment of Remembrance.
At 11:10am, Llandudno's Town Crier, Mr Billy Baxter, will read out the ‘Cry for Peace Around the World’.

2020 Annual Llandudno Fireworks Display
Llandudno Town Council has proudly organised the ‘Annual Fireworks Display’ since its inception back in 1976.
Regardless of the many challenges faced by the Council over the last 44 years it has always managed to put on well received displays, enjoyed by both local residents and tourists who have made Llandudno their destination of choice to enjoy what is now regarded by many as being the “best fireworks display in North Wales”.
However, the ‘Coronavirus Pandemic’ is upon us which, as far as the fireworks display is concerned, has brought with it so many insurmountable logistical and financial problems that the Council has taken the reluctant decision to cancel this year’s display.
The Council understands this decision will be met with disappointment by the many thousands of people who have enjoyed the display over the years, around 19,000 spectators in 2019 alone.
But having worked closely with various partners and agencies, and consulted with health and safety experts regarding the many stringent and complicated government rules, regulations and guidelines connected with COVID-19 (and the huge costs which would have been incurred), the Council was left with no other option but to cancel the 2020 display.
The Council apologises for the disappointment this decision will cause but assures you that work will begin as soon as possible to see if a display in 2021 can be staged.
In the meantime, please keep protecting the NHS and helping to save lives.

The Town Council is delighted to announce that following its Gold award and First Place in the Royal Horticultural Society’s Wales in Bloom competition, Llandudno was presented with a Gold award at the RHS Britain in Bloom awards ceremony held on Friday 25th October 2019. Llandudno was also named category winner, the first time in the Town’s history of entering. This fantastic achievement was only made possible by the work of the Llandudno in Bloom Committee, the Friends Groups, Community groups and businesses within the Town who make such an effort to showcase their work and the dedicated work of the Open Spaces West Team at Conwy County Borough Council that in turn makes this a beautiful town to live in and visit. The Llandudno in Bloom Committee would like to express its thanks to everyone involved with this year’s Llandudno in Bloom campaign.
