Lifeboat volunteers in Trearddur Bay played their part as the King's Baton relay visited Anglesey en-route to the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

A community celebration - including an RAF flypast - was held in the village as part of a day of events across the island, bringing together local residents, visitors and local organisations.

During the event, Leigh McCann, a volunteer helm at Trearddur Bay lifeboat station, had the honour of carrying the baton onto the station's Atlantic 85 lifeboat before it was taken to sea.

Leigh said: "This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for our station and the local community to get involved in the King’s Baton Relay. It has been perfect weather for the beach clean and perfect timing with the hot weather to highlight the important work SwimSafe does."

The relay leg highlighted Anglesey's maritime heritage and the vital role of RNLI volunteers based at four stations across the island, including Holyhead, Moelfre and Beaumaris.

The Trearddur Bay celebration also included a community beach clean and SwimSafe event to highlight the importance of water safety education and environmental stewardship, particularly as the current hot weather brings more people to the coast.

Other events held as part of the baton relay on Anglesey included a special trip down the Menai Strait, a scenic leg through Coed Cyrnol in Menai Brdge and a special visit to Canolfan Addysg y Bont in Llangefni.
