Another successful Air Show entertains the crowds in Rhyl
Organisers of the annual Rhyl Air Show have hailed the aviation extravaganza a huge success, with some great feedback and images shared on social media.
Thousands of visitors attended the two day show with a range of various aircrafts taking to the skies.
The famous Red Arrows display team returned again this year to close the weekend’s activity, with displays also from the Strikemaster Pair, Yak Display, Trig Aerobics Team, Griffin fly past, Breitling Wing Walkers, Team Raven formation aerobatic display team and the Bronco Demo Team all contributed to the success of this year’s Air Show.
The free event was arranged by Denbighshire Leisure Services and supported by Rhyl Town Council and the RAF.
Leader of Denbighshire, Councillor Hugh Evans OBE, who is also the Lead Member for the Economy, said : “The Council, working with its partners at Rhyl Town Council and the RAF have established a great reputation for arranging top class events of this nature and the feedback and response from people over the weekend have made all the hard work and commitment extremely worthwhile”.

Denbighshire launches Public Space Protection Order
Dog control in Denbighshire is changing with the launch of the new county-wide Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) that could result in irresponsible dog walkers being fined if they fail to comply with the order.
Following a consultation with the public earlier in the year, the Council's Planning and Public Protection launched the PSPO with an information event in Cae Ddol Park Ruthin last month.
The order is designed to deal with long standing issues concerning irresponsible dog owners and will not impact on the majority of responsible dog owners.
The PSPO is county-wide and notes of guidance explaining all aspects of the order can be found on our website. We've also created a video that you can watch below.
