All are welcome for a free cuppa, a chat with friends and neighbours, and a chance to mark this historic occasion together.
Jane Evans, events and community engagement officer at Mold Town Council, said: "While this will be a smaller gathering with no live entertainment, we're delighted to share that a very special guest - none other than Winston Churchill himself - will be making an appearance!
"Don't miss the chance to grab a photo and share a smile. It would be lovely to see residents come along and enjoy a cuppa on the square to mark this important day.

Jane adds: "Let's come together, take a moment to reflect, and celebrate the community spirit that endures through generations. Everyone is welcome - we hope to see you there!"
