The Wrexham City Fun Day, which was to celebrate Wrexham’s new city status, has been cancelled out of respect to the Queen

The event was due to take place this Saturday, but with the recent death of the Queen, and her State Funeral taking place on Monday (September 19), the council has decided that the event will not go ahead as planned.

The day was meant to be filled with activities throughout the city centre for all the family.

A statement from Wrexham Council said: “As a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Family Activity Day due to take place this Saturday, 17th September in the city centre has been cancelled.”
