* The British Legion service marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day in the square.
Llangollen branch of the Royal British Legion hosted a service of commemoration for the 80th anniversary of VE Day in Centenary Square this evening just before sunset.
Prayers were said by Father Lee Taylor from St Collen's Church and there were readings from Legion branch chairman Mike Adams and member Tug Wilson.
Flags were lowered by a standard party and the traditional minute's silence was observed. The service ended with the sounding of Last Post.
Immediately afterwards on the library steps a civic party led by the Town Mayor, Cllr Aled Morris, and town crier Chem read proclamations signifying the end of the Second World War in Europe 80 years ago.
The Town Hall frontage was then floodlit in patriotic red, white and blue.
