THE SKIES were lit up with beautiful colours as firework displays were held on Friday night. 

Two of the biggest displays to take place last night were the events in Flint and Chirk.

The annual RNLI display in Flint was described by the charity as an "amazing success" which raised vital important funding for it to continue to save lives at sea.

The event was started by Flint Town Mayor Cllr Michelle Perfect lighting ‘Barbara’s Beacon’. Shortly followed by the fireworks display set from within Flint Castle.

Alan Forrester, lifeboat operations manager and event organiser, said: "It was great to be back providing a firework display for the local community.

"We are extremely grateful to our committed supporters and volunteers who help us to ensure that the event can take place and raise funds for the RNLI."

The display in Chirk, at the Chirk AAA football club, was a similar success.
