On December 10th, 1969, letters of patent were issued by HRH Queen Elizabeth II which officially confirmed Swansea as only the second town in Wales to be granted city status.
To mark the official day Swansea became a city, Swansea Council is planning a concert at the Brangwyn Hall at the Guildhall where the presentation of the official document was made four decades ago.
There is also an online exhibition including photographs and video clips celebrating the anniversary at http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=30127
