WELCOME to another edition of bygones as we invite our readers to join us on a sojourn to the 1980s.
It was certainly the end of an era and the decades which have followed are virtually unrecognisable from the decades which preceded.
As ever we encourage all readers to share their own pictures from the past by emailing gavin.grosvenor@newsquest.co.uk.
We begin with a lovely picture of Llansilin British Legion Easter bonnet parade in 1980.
