Will always be tinged with sadness that village.. I worked on the demolition of Merthyr Vale Colliery in Aberfan in 89.. sad all ways round. Great people tho’.. and true today.

ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DECIR COMO SE LLAMA LA CHICA SOLISTA. GRACIAS
ESTE VÍDEO TIENE MUCHOS AÑOS. 😢😢😢. ME GUSTARÍA VER UNO ACTUAL. GRACIAS
This still brings me to tears.
I was just off night shift at the steelworks in Middlesbrough, visiting my Grandad in hospital, when I came on the ward radio, then the TV.
Gone but Never ever Forgotten. My lifetime gone.💔💔💔
I will never forget this and I will be 80 next year. This presentation brought tears to my eyes
Bugger but that was tough to watch.
My family lived in LLandaff that year from California. I was 13 and have never forgotten the suffering of the families and miners. You are in my heart.
💖🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏The Gospel or Good News message , in just 4 lines :) 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 1Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, UNLESS ye have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
That was the saddest thing to ever happen to Wales. All those children my tears are still in my eyes thinking about them. In a school where they should have been safe but nature had its tragic way.
An unmonitored slag heap, despite the reported evidence of movement due to water rising, is not by any imagination 'nature' having its way: It was/is/and always will remain a bureaucratic and political malfaesance of enormous indifference to the health, happiness and wellbeing of common people.
HABÉIS DESAPARECIDO NO SE SABE NADA DE ELLAS. O ALGUIEN SABE ALGO??
I was 7 when this happened even today I still see the mess and the loss of so many adults and children still breaks my heart to this day I'm from Swansea and it hit home how dangerous it is for the miners and for the families that lived near there. Forever in our hearts God bless you all
Rest in peace Aberfan if there is a lord you are top of the tree rest in peace 🙏.
I remember the Aberfan disater only too well. That beautiful music brought tears to my eyes all these years later.
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE I HAVE EVER HEARD, IWEEP EVERY TIME I HEAR IT. THANK YOU.
Not very often am i speachles. i am now, just tears.
I remember this vividly.....I got home from school and my mother was sitting in a chair with her apron over her face crying and rocking ..."Oh those babies ,oh those babies "I had never seen my mother cry before ,I knew something awful had happened ......
I was six and in Germany at the time and just as was going to bed saw this aad day in german 7 pm news next day was first time i experienced 2min silence
I was only 10 when this happened. 😢😢😢 So very, very sad to hear of all those children who died that day, and all the adults too. 😢😢😢
My Dad was a policeman on duty from a nearby Herefordshire village . He had to go on traffic duty So many people turned up to help they could not get emergency vehicles through He was heartbroken for monthsv
I lived in Aberfan and the day of the disaster is forever etched in my memory. I was 12 years old and lost cousins, friends and neighbours on that dreadful day.
How moving how beautiful
How could parents who had sent their children to the safety of school, come to terms with that?
The bitterness at the sociopathic indifference displayed by politicians and bureaucrats to the known danger will come down generations of those affected, and many others around the world.
I had just started as a teacher. When we saw the news, the whole staff room was silent, we felt utterly unable to do anything, no one spoke …
I was recently in Aberfan end of July. My wife had heard about this disaster and always wanted to go there, so I took her, she was overcome with the emotion, after walking past the graves. I even talked to some people who had lost some of their relatives. My heart went out to them.
This is so heartbreakingi can't see for tears those poor children and the parents left to cope after the tragedy my they rest in peace 😭😢😢😢
I did not know children were saved.
Just beautiful. Never forget!
I was 11 years old in a school in Swansea
Very nice!
When you consider the age group involved, it's an admirable interpretation.
I was nine and living in New Zealand.I watched the news..terrible.
I was in a flat in Plymouth glued to the television SHOCKED as I was from Swansea Wales. So sad. Lovely singing from the heart.
I was living back home (Hengoed)then less than 10 miles from Aberfan, I was 11 years old and can remember the sadness in the valleys. How the people of that village managed to struggle on amazes me to this day. Bless you all.
That was sad.
I was a very little boy in Lancashire, my mum was devastated by this. Love
Just terrible and totally avoidable ! Rest in peace innocents x
12 I was - in school at ponty girls grammar, seeing the sludge filled lorries passing while we waited to cross the road to school, we were all late there was no stop, they just kept coming
I was on leave from the R.N. & my parents were living in a tiny slate mining village called Aberllefenni in south Gwynedd.The village was really only one street of about 10 homes and a P.O. at the end & a few houses about. The travelling library had called about 0930 & I went out to it. I was looking through some books while I heard this almighty screaming. I & the driver looked back to the source & there were all the mams from the street huddled together & the almighty noise coming from them was incredible. I shouted to my mam & what hell was on.That's when I learnt. I will carry it to my grave.
I can only imagine the wails of horror. Nicely told. Powerful words.

Heartbreaking. I remember standing in the kitchen, hearing the news coming over the radio. I wept then and, with the singing of these children, I weep again.
All my family were involved at some level with what happened at Aberfan. It really was a disaster which should never have happened. Those in charge knew the tip was moving and unstable. Unnecessary risks were taken and the community paid the price but that one event left scars on Wales and the mining communities everywhere. Please do not forget what happened in Aberfan. We need to remember the mistakes which were made so that we can avoid another Aberfan in the future. Bless all the children and their parents. Those who survived and those who didn’t. RIP little ones and do not be afraid of the dark for we will light your paths with prayers, just as your parents set lights on your graves as evening fell. In my thoughts and prayers always. X
Lovely words
This is so.moving
I was only eight when this happened, but I still remember the sights in the papers and on the TV. God Rest the little souls that perished on the cold October day.
This must be one of my earliest memories and it still leaves me heart broken
My mother in law was Welsh,,from a small village called HOOK.... She was my favourite mother in law,,,, in fact my only Mother in law...God bless Wales...
