2006

This week BBC Wales’s Lucy Owen takes a personal trip through the BBC Wales news and entertainment archives of 2006. We witness the New Year tradition of waterfall karate, the Welsh contestants on Big Brother causing a stir, and Cardiff Library packs up and moves.

There’s a jazzy celebration on the 250th anniversary of Pontypridd bridge, the coastal path in Anglesey opens and Chepstow racecourse hosts its first National Motor show. Thieves steal the Cardiff Castle clock hands, while Swansea debuts the new Eisteddfod pink tent.

The Queen opens the new Assembly building and Katherine Jenkins sings at Llangollen. Plus, a World record attempt for the largest gathering of Jones’ in one place.
