Western Mail to celebrate its 150th birthday

The Western Mail celebrates its 150th anniversary on Wednesday.

The newspaper was first published on May 1, 1869.

To mark the special occasion, Wednesday's edition will feature a fantastic eight-page supplement free inside for all readers.

Editor Catrin Pascoe said: "It is with great pride that we celebrate the Western Mail's 150th anniversary.

"We have been there for every step of Wales' journey since the first edition was published on May 1, 1869 - reporting on what matters for this brilliant nation each and every day with award-winning journalism.

"The exclusive supplement will reflect that history and proud tradition, and we plan to continue the celebrations throughout the year with features each month, starting on June 1.

"I would also like to take the opportunity on this very special occasion to thank our readers and advertisers for your continued support. Thank you."

Readers can share their favourite Western Mail memories and images via the Facebook group 150 Years of the Western Mail or by emailing WesternMail150@walesonline.co.uk
