FOLLOWING the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the organisers of Ironman say they are waiting further instruction as to whether the triathlon will go ahead in Tenby and its surrounding area.
A spokesperson for the event said on Thursday evening: “It is with deep sadness that we learn of the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. We join the world in sending our condolences to The Royal Family, and know that the news of this death will be felt widely amongst our athletes, volunteers, partners, employees, and the wider community.
“With Ironkids and Ironman Wales due to take place this weekend, we understand participants will be looking for an update on what this news means for both events.
