Llangollen: A world of colour
Llangollen's world music festival is in full swing and we've been around the showfield to capture some of the atmosphere on film with clips from Kurdish and Ukrainian folk groups and much more:

Prestatyn minister Derek Rigby posed as a tramp and gatecrashed his own service - to teach churchgoers about 'acceptance':

History Today
Free love - Margaret: "Regardless of the '60s being the era of free love, it came at a very high price in North Wales. No help was offered from home or social services and therefore adoption seemed to us the only option. Mine had a happy outcome and I was reunited with my son many years ago."

Holidaying in a bus! - Carole: "In the sand dunes were many old buses and coaches which had been made into 'accommodation'. We had great times, simple places but simply wonderful!"

Taking steel to Sheffield - Brian: "I worked for a local haulage company that carried steel from Brymbo. We, alongside other truck companies, would take the 'quality steel' to places like Sheffield, an area of the UK that had more steelworks than the rest of the country..."

Buckley Jubilee - Sharon: "I remember going to the Jubilee. We would give our money for someone to get us an ice-cream then go to the Tabernacle Sunday School rooms for tea and then do races on the field and try to win some money for the fair."

Weatherman Walking
Watch as TV weatherman Derek Brockway takes a stroll through the region for a new TV series.

Town Talk
Entertainment in Flint - Music Lover: "I have to congratulate Flint Town Council on their initiative by arranging a concert during the Flint Festival Week..."

Policing Penycae - Concerned: "Quite a number of people have many concerns about Penycae as a village. I feel it's true that the youngsters do often cause a problem especially through alcohol..."

Denbigh Hospital - Iain: "Since the large psychiatric hospitals were forced to close we now have a situation where our prisons are overcrowded with many inmates suffering from mental illness. This is not a coincidence."
