Speaking earlier this year, Griffiths fondly remembered his time spent in Liverpool: ‘In my youth Liverpool was the unofficial capital of North Wales.

"It was where I went to expand my horizons, experience the world outside my village. It provided a mix of enlightenment and education and an early experience of multiculturalism.’
