HOLLYWOOD superstar Sir Anthony Hopkins brought a touch of glamour to Port Talbot as he staged his 70th birthday bash in his home town on New Year’s Eve. Fifty of Taibach-born Sir Anthony’s closest childhood friends attended the glittering celebration at the Margam Park Orangery, where they rubbed shoulders with a host of the Oscar-winning actor’s showbiz pals, including actor Michael Sheen and Graham Jenkins, brother of the late Richard Burton. Organised by Sir Anthony’s wife, Stella Arroyave, the party saw the Orangery lavishly transformed to resemble the great hall of a medieval castle. Clive Thompson was one of 30 members of the Pelenna Valley Male Voice Choir, who performed at the event, greeting guests as they arrived with a mixture of Welsh hymns, folk songs and show tunes. Coun Anthony Taylor, Mayor of Neath Port Talbot, was one of a host of local dignitaries invited. THE family of former soldier Wayne Oglesby paid tribute to their son after his killers were jailed for a total of 31 years for his brutal murder. More Birthday News
