Trees planted in memory of two of Eisteddfod's strongest supporters

Officials and volunteers of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod gathered around the famous silver harp outside the main entrance to the site this morning (Saturday) to plant trees in memory of two of the festivals strongest supporters.

Sandy and Bob Attenburrow both dedicated many years serving the Eisteddfod in numerous roles.

A post on the festival's internal Facebook page says: "It was was an absolute pleasure to see so many of you attend this morning’s tree planting to remember the remarkable contribution that Bob and Sandy Attenburrow made to the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod.

"Two trees have been planted near our harp at the entrance to the Eisteddfod field.

"Thanks to Bob and Sandy’s family and all the volunteers who came today and the Floral Committee for organising the event.

"Gareth Edwards made a lovely speech and we are certain you all have lots of stories of the amazing things that the Attenburrows did to ensure our peace festival survives to this day."
