Patti Flynn (born Patricia Maude Young, 1937 – 10 September 2020) was a Welsh jazz singer, author, model and social activist.

One of the highlights of Patti’s career was appearing in the hit West End Show Bubbling Brown Sugar (as understudy to Elaine Delmar).

[10] Patti moved to Spain in the middle of the 1980s, where she developed into a well-known music producer and radio hostess with her shows "Just for You" and "Costa Nights."

[10] In later life she lived in the Cardiff suburb of Fairwater[1] She campaigned valiantly for 26 years to have a monument erected and together in 2019, Patti Flynn, Uzo Iwobi and Race Council Cymru worked with Deputy Minister and Chief Whip Jane Hutt MS, Cllr Susan Elsmore, Cardiff Council, Royal Commonwealth Society Wales, British Legion and British Armed Forces represented by Colonel Jonah MacGill and the stone masons organised to have the monument installed.

Patti Flynn wrote the words on the face of the monument and in so doing ensured that her legacy and the selfless sacrifice of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic service men and women in Wales will never be extinguished".
