Rhyl Air Show is confirmed as not going ahead in summer 2025
The event, organised by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) and typically held during the August bank holiday weekend, has not taken place since 2023. It comes as DLL has announced a host of big events for the summer, including the Summertime Weekender and outdoor cinema experience - but the popular air show will not be among them. Denbighshire County Council, which owns DLL, revealed this news in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request from the Journal. The Journal asked the council to disclose whether the air show is going ahead this year, and if not, why not. In response, the council said: 'It is not taking place. DLL confirmed to the council that there wouldn't be an air show in 2025 on February 6, 2025, owing to a lack of funds. 'It is a DLL-run event, and we do not manage the event.' The Red Arrows at Rhyl Air Show in August 2023 (Image: Amy Owen) A spokesperson for DLL added: 'DLL provides major events in Rhyl that are funded by Denbighshire County Council and Rhyl Town Council. Since 2020, costs to run and host such major events have risen significantly. 'DLL has in the past, and up until recently; underwritten a large shortfall in the available funding for the air show. 'But like every other business in Rhyl, DLL does not have an endless pot of money to underwrite costs associated with running such events. 'All Rhyl businesses benefit significantly from events such as the air show, but it has historically been DLL that underwrites the costs and the shortfall. 'Added to that, an event on the scale of the air show may not have been feasible this year due to the ongoing coastal defence works, with large sections of the promenade being inaccessible. 'Instead, sensibly and responsibly, DLL has worked with Rhyl Town Council to agree an attractive events programme, which will be delivered over the summer, giving thousands of free tickets away to residents for the Summertime Weekender at Rhyl Events Arena and for a brand new outdoor cinema event which will be taking place in August, alongside the existing and hugely popular family fun days at 1891. 'DLL have also contributed to the RAF Rhyl Town Show with free use of the Rhyl Events Arena, and opened SC2 for free for hundreds of people to enjoy the waterpark and Splash Pad to celebrate the reopening.' DLL's decision to cancel the 2024 Rhyl Air Show was attributed to the Red Arrows, a regular feature at the event, being unavailable. In February 2024, Jamie Groves, DLL's managing director, said: "We have concluded that (without the Red Arrows) it would be impossible for DLL to deliver a show in keeping with the proud tradition of the Rhyl Air Show, which also meets public expectations. 'But we will come back in 2025 stronger.' The Red Arrows featured at the 2022 and 2023 Rhyl Air Shows, but did not attend the 2019 event – the last prior to the COVID-19 pandemic - as it clashed with a tour of North America. As well as the Red Arrows, the 2023 Rhyl Air Show also featured performances from the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, Strikemaster Pair, Calidus Autogyro, and more. Alternative events in Rhyl organised by DLL this summer include a 'Summertime Weekender' event on August 2-3, and a an 'outdoor cinema experience' on August 22-24. Both of these are free of charge and are being held at Rhyl Events Arena. DLL's SC2 water park on Rhyl's seafront also re-opened in early July, having been shut since late 2023 due to storm damage.

‘It's complicated…I made different choice' – Single Lewis Hamilton, 40, opens up on love life and plans after retiring
LEWIS HAMILTON has opened up about making a "different choice" to prioritise "winning" in his Formula One career above all else. And that includes relationships, with the legendary Brit cementing his name as one of the best F1 drivers of all time. 6 Hamilton, 40, hasn't gone public with a girlfriend since his famous relationship with Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger. After having an on/off romance that spanned seven years, the former couple eventually called it quits in 2015. Hamilton 's love life has since been unclear, with the F1 star winning four of his seven world championships since their split. Most recently, rumours that he was dating pop singer Raye were sent into overdrive after her latest appearance in the Ferrari garage at Silverstone. But, in an interview with French publication RTBF, Hamilton said he has long since parked his love life, something which is 'very complicated' to balance these days. Put to him that it must be hard to also have a private life on the side, Hamilton replied: 'Yes, it's very complicated, especially in today's world. 'I see other drivers and I wonder how they manage it. Some have children, are married, have girlfriends. 'I went through that when I was in my twenties. I've made a different choice: I've decided to maximise the time I have here because it's shorter than you think. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 6 'I don't want to have any regrets, or think that I could have given more.' The Ferrari driver added: 'Over the last ten years, I've concentrated on my performance. And when I retire, I'll be able to do what I want. Lewis Hamilton gives lucky F1 rival a lift home on his private jet 'I'll be able to devote myself to other things without constraints. 'As long as I'm competing, I'm concentrating on my health, my well-being, my mental health and my driving technique. 'I want to be the best engineer I can be and the best team-mate too. That's my main objective: I want to win.' Interestingly enough only TWO F1 drivers currently on the grid are fathers, with Max Verstappen recently joining Nico Hulkenberg in the dad's club. Hamilton mostly wants to win a record eighth world title with Ferrari, after joining the Scuderia from Mercedes at the end of last season. He added: 'My dream is to win a title with Ferrari. It's been a long time since that happened. 'Ferrari has all the ingredients to win, you just have to put it all together. That's what I'm trying to do behind the scenes with Fred Vasseur and the team.' 6 But Hamilton has suffered a challenging start to life as a Ferrari driver. His wait for a first podium with the team is ongoing while Charles Leclerc has pulled off that achievement five times this year, including at the most recent Belgian Grand Prix. Hamilton has done plenty of that, his tally of 105 Grand Prix wins unmatched, while he holds the title record alongside Michael Schumacher. Hamilton has also been in r umoured relationships with other celebrities in the past, including singer Rihanna, Rita Ora, Barbara Palvin, Winnie Harlow and Danielle Lloyd. In 2023 he was romantically linked with Colombian singer Shakira, but their relationship never went past the friend zone. 6
