They were greeted by crowds waving flags and spent some time speaking to those who had waited in the cold.
Their Majesties then attended a short service led by Reverend Jason Bray in the nave of the church, during which His Majesty The King formally marked the conferral of city status on Wrexham and made a short speech.
The King had the opportunity to view the church’s treasures including the First Edition King James Bible and a rare early 14th Century chalice which is still in use before meeting church/ecumenical representatives and local community groups.
