Today's the day .................... for a memorial

Lovely to be back in one of our favourite Welsh towns - albeit for a brief overnight stop.  

There's always lots to see and explore in Ruthin but we've never noticed the above memorial to the Welsh Racing car driver Tom Pryce (1949 - 1977).  This is what it said about him -

A boy brought up in the Vale of Clwyd, Tom Pryce became a racetrack star of the 1970s.  Quiet and unassuming, he was a Grand Prix driver of almost peerless brilliance.  On the brink of winning every prize his career could offer, a marshall ran into his path at the South African GP Kyalami and both were killed.  A true countryman at heart, he remains the Prince of Welsh Racing drivers.

Obviously a much respected and admired local son . . . . . .
