    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.

    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.

    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.

    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
