Cardiff marks castle anniversary

Cardiff Castle is celebrating 60 years since it was handed to the city by the 5th Marquess of Bute.

A 1940s theme day includes free entry to the grounds and staff dressed in period clothes.

The programme also includes guided tours of hidden tunnels used as air raid shelters during World War II.

The site of the castle site was originally a Roman fort in the 1st Century AD and passed to the Bute family in 1776 through marriage.

The Butes helped to lay down the city's infrastructure and in 1947, the then marquess presented the people of the city with Cardiff Castle and adjoining Bute Park, which are both now managed by the county council.
