Good luck to all the Torchbearers, there’s sure to be a fantastic turn-out as the Torch enters town from the old road from Llanddulas, passes along Market St, turns left at the Gwindy lights down Water St, Dundonald Avenue and into Pensarn.

      It didn’t give a time on the pages I saw Ken but Abergele is the middle-most destination on the torch’s route from Beaumaris to Saltney, so I think it’ll be hitting town around lunchtime. Just listen out for the cheers Ken. Here’s the town list:

    hi, This is George Jacob. I am previlaged to be a part of this historic moment of the flame passing through Abergele. Looking forward to seeing you all in Abergele on the 29th. Cheers.

    Hi George, enjoy your day in our home town and I hope the sun shines for you (although it’s unlikely to be as warm as Dubai!). Wish I was there to cheer you on…. I’ll be working in India instead, but thinking of you all. Have a great day!
