Flintshire Memories: Shotton parade marks 60th anniversary of Royal Welch Fusiliers Comrades Association
THE streets of Shotton and Connah's Quay were filled with more than 100 Royal Welch Fusiliers and comrades as they paraded through the towns on Sunday. (August 23)
The parade was held to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Shotton and Deeside branch of the Royal Welch Fusiliers Comrades' Association.
Attending the event were Lord Barry Jones, MP Mark Tami, chairman of the association Lt Col Mervyn Lloyd, AM Carl Sargeant, chairman of Connah's Quay Town Council Cllr David Barratt and chairman of Shotton Town Council Cllr David Evans.
An open air service, taken by Army chaplain Capt Andy Latifa, was held at the war memorial in Connah's Quay.
Honorary secretary of the branch, Benny Ball, said: "The day was a great success and we had great support from the community.
"I'd like to say thank you to everyone who turned out to support us. In particular the unsung heroes of Deeside Silver Band who played at the cenotaph, and the police for their traffic control."
