THE Mayor of Wrexham has hailed the 'exciting times' the city is experiencing at the moment following King Charles III's visit last week.

The King and Queen Consort made the trip to Wrexham on Friday, December 9, to celebrate its city status.

They stopped by at the Racecourse ground, St Giles' Church and Erddig during what was a day to remember for Wrexham.

That, coupled with the takeover of Wrexham AFC by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has led to the spotlight well and truly being shone on the area.
