Warm welcome for Cleethorpes mural starring Red Arrows
"All murals we do are linked to the heritage of the area. We wanted something that lent itself to the seaside and we wanted it to be a community mural with many people involved," he said.Creative Start Arts is a not-for-profit group that runs projects to help people rebuild their lives.
"We are a recovery organisation and arts and health group," Mr Delaney added. "We involve people who are in the process of recovery, so maybe recovering from addiction, trauma and we involve them in the painting and we empower them."About 25 people worked on the artwork. It has been named after a Facebook group called We Love Cleethorpes, as a "token of thanks" to members who posted pictures and offered words of support about the mural.Dogma, a local artist who worked on sections of the mural, including images of the Red Arrows, said it had been a "great collective effort".The mural is part of a wider regeneration scheme funded by the government's Coastal Communities project.

PICTURES: Spectacular Red Arrows soar over North Wales
The jets performed at Blackpool Air Show on Saturday and Sunday (August 9 and 10), but flew over North Wales enroute. The Red Arrows set off from RAF Waddington a day early, on Friday, August 8, and landed at RAF Valley on Anglesey at 12.55pm before resuming their journey to Blackpool at 3.25pm. On their way to RAF Valley, the Red Arrows flew over Graigfechan in Denbighshire, Gwytherin in Conwy, Capel Curig (12.51pm), and Glasinfryn in Gwynedd. They then flew over North Wales again before their Blackpool Air Show at 2pm. They flew over the vicinity of Llandudno (1.47pm), Colwyn Bay (1.48pm) and Rhyl (1.49pm). Their Blackpool display on August 10 was at 5pm. Again, they flew over Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Rhyl at planned times of 4.47pm, 4.48pm and 4.49pm [they ran slightly early and were visible on Llandudno promenade at 4.45pm]. Rhyl Journal Camera Club members were delighted to spot the jets. Jack Nelson said: "So exciting to see the nine Red Arrows at Kinmel Bay/Rhyl together."

Rhosneigr Coastguard Rescue Team also had eyes to the skies and shared snaps taken from RAF Valley Families Day on August 8. They said: "What an amazing day it was on Friday as we welcomed back the world famous Royal Air Force aerobatic display team, the Red Arrows, who returned to RAF Valley for the families day event here on Anglesey. "As parts of our Rhosneigr Beach is close to the RAF Valley airfield, we are so privileged and very fortunate to witness the full display which was as always spectacular." The RAF Valley Families Day, held at RAF Valley, is a 'ticket only' event and entry is restricted to 'whole force' personnel who work at RAF Valley and their invited families. Rhyl Air Show, which draws thousand of visitors to the town, will not be taking place this year due to a "lack of funds." The event, organised by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) and typically held during the August bank holiday weekend, has not taken place since 2023. Denbighshire County Council, which owns DLL, confirmed the news in response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request from the Journal. The local authority 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.' A spokesperson for DLL said: '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." An RAF Rhyl Town show took place on August 9 and 10. Rhyl Events Arena was transformed into an interactive experience. Visitors were able to climb into an aircraft cockpit, test their coordination, and take part in a real-life survival challenge.
