Glyndŵr Day parade cancelled following the Queen's death but some are determined to carry on

Organisers of an annual march to mark the legacy of Owain Glyndŵr have decided to cancel parts of the event following the death of the late Queen Elizabeth II. For the last 20 years, residents of Corwen in Denbighshire have been celebrating the achievements of one of Wales most notable historical figures - Owain Glyndŵr.

Every year, people gather in the town square to mark Owain Glyndŵr Day on September 16 - the date in which Glyndŵr's proclamation took place in 1400. Usually, the event consists of a procession and wreath laying ceremony by the statue of Glyndŵr right at the heart of the town, before a service is carried out at a local church.

However, the march's committee confirmed that they have decided to cancel the procession and wreath laying ceremony by the statue. Although the event is not entirely cancelled, with the service, a memorial lecture and meal still going ahead, some are said to be disappointed that parts of the events will not be going ahead.
