Today 01.05.22 I drove to this village and left my heart at the graves
my welsh background as never left me-my father always talked about this at xmas and blessed them every xmas morning at the table and at church
May we remember those who died, children and adults until our own departure from this life.
I was a young myself in America when this occurred. Such a shame.
R.I.P you angels 🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢
Yes, much longer. Today is 21.10.22 and Aberfan is not forgotten, nor the loss.
"what man would knowingly allow this calamity to happen?"
well, most likely the ncb
