The brief shots of the people vainly digging at the coal with their helmets and even their bare hands in utter desperation is just fucking haunting, especially when you know that many of the victims survived the initial impact and died by slow suffocation. They could hear their children crying for help, and then slowly falling silent one by one as they ran out of air, and there was nothing they could do to save them. Many people probably did fall to their knees and claw at that mountain of hard unyielding coal with their bare hands that day as they heard the last gasps of their dying children. What happened at Aberfan should never be forgotten, nor forgiven.
We in Wales still cry generations after, we in Wales never forget, yet to our astonishment, this was the first times from every part of the UK, helped out in some way, once you make friends with a Welshman, your back is always protected.
Cómo se llama el himno que entonan?. Cuando lo escuché me emociono hasta las lágrimas. Después vi que era una adoración a Cristo. Saludos desde Argentina.
It wasn’t all that long ago when you really think about it… it must be so difficult to think of those poor children that perished. I’m glad that the story was done justice by The Crown so that more people are aware of this tragedy. 💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏
after learning about Aberfan, i cant help to feel for the families who lost their loved ones. Nobody wanted it to happen but its just sad nobody paid for the lives lost. These are children, brothers and sisters to their siblings, friends, great joy of their parents. i cant just imagine.
I was 8 years old when this happened , the same age as some of those poor mites , i vaugly remember the Black and White pictures on the TV News and in the papers . But what affected me most was on the 10th Anniversary one paper did a centre page report on the Disaster , and spoke to one survivor and he said "the worse part of being a survivor is i have no friends my age , they all died that day" , a Mother who lost her child that day said "this is the only town in Britain with hardly any teenagers"
I live in South Wales, i've just got back from taking a friend to both Senghenydd (my children live in Senghenydd and the house they are in is one of ther few to have not lost someone in either 1901 or 1913) and Aberfan, we walked around the site of the school and then the cemetery in Aberfan where the victims are either laid to rest or remembered. If you are ever in either village please visit the memorial sites
for me, aberfan was the most touching episode of the crown. afterwards i cried and had to hug my kids who didn't know what was going on until i explained it to them
Apparently one girl had a dream about being crushed by a landslide and she told her mother in the morning that she really didn't want to go to school because of the dream etc but her mother sent her anyway. This was the day of the Aberfan disaster...
I have been to the cemetery and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. This is such a sad loss out of pure greed by the the NCB. HMTQ did go and she kept in contact with the families throughout her reign. She apparent;y has said it was one of her biggest regrets that she never went to Aberfan sooner. It touched her deeply not as a Queen but as a mother, the thought of having a child taken from you in this way was shocking.
The beautiful Welsh valleys and areas of the north of england fuelled the industrial revolution but to huge cost with nothing ever being returned from London etc where the money went and they thrived. Aberfan was rightfully the tragedy that got spoken about the most but there were many. Also there were things like my great grandfather had his arm ripped off and my housemates grandfather had his fingers ripped off in dangerous machinery above ground before even going down into the abyss.
Women in the textile industry often lost fingers. Industrial dust, not just in mines, but in many factories was a big killer. The wealth of the South East was made at the expense of the rest of the country.
I was nine years old at the time of this awful tragedy and can still remember the absolute shock that went around the small Yorkshire (UK) community that I lived in. We said prayers at school and held a collection. We could do no more, sadly. 😢
I have seen every episode of every season of "The Crown", and this in my opinion is one of the best. Olivia Colman is always outstanding, but I think all of the actors (Bonham-Carter, Menzies, etc) all stepped up their game for this one. It is especially curious to me that in a pivotal scene the Queen admits that she feels no emotion in situations where most people would. It's curious because in "Spare", Harry admits to the very same issue as a young man hearing of the death of his mother (Princess Diana).
It was so sad thinking it was their last day to the vacation. School was going to be closed by midday. If it was next day Or it happened in evening many would be survived.
@@notasgood459 rubbish , you have not a clue. The parents in the village were always close. The surviving children's parents felt guilty but there was no resentment. I had family involved in the disaster. This disaster galvanised the valleys and parent gave their children an extra hug after that
@@DOCTORDROTT Very true. All of the families became tight knit out of the tragedy. The ones that survived felt guilt. The school was one day from recess. To this day I don't know how the board survived the meeting with the parents. After digging my child from dirt, I'd have seen red.
This was a complete misrepresentation of Her Majesty's response. She was advised not to go too soon as it would interfere with the rescue. When she did visit, the villagers welcomed her and one took her into their home so she could compose herself as she was so upset. This is very easily checked on the internet, but here is part of the actual story: The delay in going to Aberfan attracted some criticism and years later the Queen's former private secretary, the late Lord Charteris, said he felt he had given her poor advice. "We told her to stay away [from Aberfan] until the preliminary shock had worn off," he said, adding that it was the biggest regret of her reign. But for those left mourning in the village there was nothing but love and respect for the Queen, who they felt helped them during their darkest hour. "To come to Aberfan wouldn't have been appropriate," said Jeff Edwards, the last child to be rescued from the school, who the Queen always referred to as "the little boy with the blond hair". "The trouble with any royal visit is that you have an entourage and it just takes over and the rescue work was still ongoing. "To have her come down any earlier would have added to the utter confusion." He said the tragedy clearly affected her and she was visibly moved as she walked down from the cemetery to a local house. "When she went into that house she was really upset and she had to compose herself before she went on to meet the relatives and families who had lost children and relatives," added Mr Edwards, who went on to serve as an independent mayor of Merthyr Tydfil and council leader. The Queen walked to Moy Road, the street that led to Pantglas Junior School, where mourners had gathered to meet her. "She came across and spoke to us and I didn't think of her as royalty really," said Mary Morse. Marilyn Brown, whose daughter Janette was killed aged 10, recalled: "You could see that she was quite emotional. You could see that she cared, you know." "To me that day, she didn't come as the Queen, our monarch, she came as a mother, to sympathise, to empathise, to really appreciate what everybody had been through that day," added Denise Morgan. Marjorie Collins, whose eight-year-old son Anthony Wayne died in the tragedy, said the Queen's visit had helped the community more than anything. "They were above the politics and the din and they proved to us that the world was with us, and that the world cared," she said.

What I ALWAYS notice in these major AVOIDABLE disasters is that the scene of consternation, solidarity, sisterhood and empathy ends when the cameras are turned off. How many were blamed, prosecuted, fined and arrested for this ANNOUNCED TRAGEDY? Only the poor people suffer in the end... =^/
You would hope, one day, all of the deaths that keep being caused by unregulated industry would prompt some kind of action to bring these money focused companies under control and stop letting them get away with killing people.
Al empezar esa escena comencé a llorar. Ya había conocido este triste caso y al que atendió la reina. Pero al verlo en pantalla y saber que iba a pasar con ese a lagrimear fue muy fuerte

For anyone interested, please listen to the heart-breaking and beautiful song 'The Price Of Coal' By David Alexander, which is a tribute to Aberfan and all lives lost through the history of coal mining. One lyric in that song gets the tears flowing every time: 'Aberfan in '66, when the whole world cried, on a mountainside, a generation died'.
I wonder if people gave the Queen flack for not showing a lot of emotion after Aberfan happened. Queen Elizabeth is as tough as iron, England needs that. But she’s not a heartless woman. I’m sure she questioned at times her own deficiencies on certain matters. She was made for the role she was destined to be put in. & I do believe a lot of politicians struggle with this very thing. Good people, good leaders but just something is off. I had a similar response to Sandy Hook. I didn’t cry or anything the day the news came out. It took me a full 1.5 days before I broke down & absolutely bawled my eyes out. I was in shock. I think that happens alot when people are grieving.
@@lamsy1 rubbish. She was told not to attend due to the area being made safe. A Royal visit would have not helped the situation. I had family involved in tip clearing work and my father went there to dig out the kids on the Friday with many other people. Lots were turned away as there was so many offers of help. Lord Snowdon and Prince Phillip attended on her behalf. People on here comment were not even born and had no idea how bad it was that dreadful day. I can remember it like it was yesterday. The Crown is not real, its a TV show FFS !
A cidade imperial. Ao contrário dos 5.568 municípios brasileiros, Petrópolis tem uma origem diferente, do camarote VIP . Pelo que sei, a cidade nasceu para ser um ar condicionado da coroa que subia a serra fugindo do Rio 40 graus, sem eletricidade e cervas geladas. Por conta desta origem nobre, os moradores da cidade imperial ainda hoje tem que pagar um imposto extra chamado laudênio para a família real dos Orléans e Bragança que tem como hobby viver no passado e namora o fascismo. Se a família real inglesa com rainha dura e tudo mais está cheia de ladrão, vadio e pedófilo imaginem a outras que levam a vida nas sombras. O que me recorda: Aberfan. Aberfan, é o nome do mais tocante dos episódios do seriado The Crown e de uma aldeia de mineiros que em 1966 some depois avalanche de escória de carvão descer causada por chuva forte matando 144 pessoas, sendo 126 crianças. Após uns dias de desdém, sua magestade foi lá apertar a mão dos enlutados que tem ao menos a sorte de não serem brasileiros que só puderam acenar para o helicoptero do Messias. Fico a imaginar se esse contribuintes mortos na cidade imperial tem acesso vip aos céus? Será que os corpos soterrados em terras da realeza tem um final melhor que de Mariana ou Brumadinho? Em dias era para ter Carnaval. A festa nacional comandada pelo Rei Momo bebum, putanheiro, pilantrão e incompetente. A gente tola pensa que essa autoridade manda no país por só quatro dias. Mas se lembrarmos de nossa história, na verdade são pra mais de quatro séculos.
The Aberfan tragedy was one moment in the Queen's reign, in the 20th century. 'The Crown' should reflect reality. Let the Queen & Prince Philip's lives of service remind us of the huge, tangible power for peace and stability the British monarchy is for everyone in Britain, the commonwealth and for the world. In the 19th & 20th centuries the U.S.A, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece suffered in various ways civil wars, political storms, and dictatorships. This shows what can go wrong in the absence of a head of state which is above politics, which opposes illegal dictatorship and helps keep the peace. If there are many reasons England, Wales, Scotland, Canada and Australia, have had no civil war since Culloden in 1746, having a constitutional monarchy is an important one. Of course the Queen & Prince Philip had their failings as parents, and Prince Philip could be tactless. Whatever mistakes the royal family have made, let us be grateful for the service they give, and for the difference the monarchy makes for the better, in the world. There will always be violence in the world, and billions of people who know or understand nothing of the British monarchy. The value of the British crown since the 1700s is, billions of people have lived under it without civil war, lynching, dictatorship in their lives.
Sadly, unlike an earthquake, the disaster that befell Aberfan was avoidable. However, no one, including the authorities, or the Coal Board saw the potential danger of having huge hills of coal waste (coal slag) piled up behind a village. I was in school in Cardiff, South Wales when this immense tragedy happened. I still recall the TV reports of policemen, firemen and local people attempting to claw away the huge amounts of coal slag which engulfed the school and part of the village of Aberfan.
I watched this on the Crown I still think about it now, the crowns response was shameful she said she did not know how to cry but found time to cry when Margaret tried to take her life,
It was difficult for her to hijack this kind of event, it's all about photo ops for the royals. Turn up at some kids home, shake hands, and have lots of photos taken where everyone comments about all the lovely expensive clothes they are wearing, ohh I love that coat, so stylish, not that most of them realise they're one off custom made designer items with a price tag in the tens of thousands. But it matters not, they look good, they shook a few hands, they are the head of the charity. All those working behind the scenes are unimportant, hey even the kids in the kids home are just props, nobody knows thier names or cares, but they only remember the name of the well dressed woman who was smiling for the camera at the poor urchin. That's how it work's, Aberfan was a human tragedy, so a week was allowed to pass before arranging a visit, a visit she did not want to make.. She showed up at lockerbie under duress after Andrew made insensitive comments on TV about the terrorist event. The monarchy who had close ties to gadaffi eventually secured the release of the lockerbie bomber. Charles reffered to col gadaffi as your excellency, a word he only used for people he held in the highest regard. Charles is a political animal, setting up deals, advising the government on policy change. Only thing is he's unelected which is worrying
Elizabeth II's private secretary is reported to have said she acknowledged making mistakes by not visiting Aberfan at once. Whatever may be thought of that, 'the Crown' should reflect reality. Monarchy shouldn't be used as real-life soap opera, nor just as material to fill space in the media. Elizabeth II's death has seen much publicity, not much thought about why she matters, and why the UK has a monarchy. The achievement of the British monarchy should become clear in comparison with the histories of other countries. In the 19th & 20th centuries the U.S.A, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain and Greece suffered in various ways civil wars, political storms, and dictatorships. This shows what can go wrong in the absence of a head of state which is above politics, and which opposes illegal dictatorship. If there are many reasons England, Wales, and Scotland have had no civil war since Culloden in 1746, having a constitutional monarchy to unify all the people is an important reason. In the UK, 'peace' in formal speech is "The King's Peace". Of course King Charles III's first marriage was a tragic mistake; Prince Philip could be tactless; he & Elizabeth II made mistakes as parents. Whatever mistakes the royal family have made, let us be grateful for the unity the monarchy gives the UK & the world. By stabilizing Britain & the commonwealth (e.g. Canada & Australia), it promotes peace in the world. The sea around it didn't protect the U.S.A. against civil war in the 1860s, and the UK could have suffered civil war over slavery in the 19th century; likewise over world war, loss of empire, economic failure, or race in the 20th. There will always be violence and political problems in the world, and billions of people who know or understand nothing of the British monarchy and the stability it brings. Since the 1700s, billions of people have lived under the British crown without civil war, lynching, dictatorship in their lives. God save King Charles III, and his successors.
Prince Philip and Lord Snowdon attended on her behalf as the clean-up was a massive task and underfoot condition were very bad , there were thousands of rescuers, some were turned away . My father was one of the volunteers that went there mid-day of the disaster. The Queen went a week later and had been back four times since. A tree planted by her in the memorial garden.
@@sjfootball1692 what a load of rubbish . She was devastated by that disaster. And stated that she had wished she came there with Phillip. But the area was unstable for a week because of thousands of tons of waste was still unstable . The police stopped people from going there to help as Moy Road is a narrow road . The Crown is a TV show and NOT factual
This show seriously misrepresented the Queen here. This is from actual accounts: The delay in going to Aberfan attracted some criticism and years later the Queen's former private secretary, the late Lord Charteris, said he felt he had given her poor advice. "We told her to stay away [from Aberfan] until the preliminary shock had worn off," he said, adding that it was the biggest regret of her reign.

i could have survived that. metal can’t melt. I would have put a stove on the ground, sat on it and road the waves of lava until it was cold and i can walk off it
Can you send me some of those drugs you are taking? metal can't melt? lava wave? I genuinely checked if you are not a 8 year old, because there is no way an grown adult would make such a idiotic comment. If done in humor it was utterly out of touch with reality.
@@ros303ros I’m not on drugs, the movie was about a true story of a volcano erupting. Lava spewed out and killed a lot of ppl. If they had thought like me, they would have all survived if they sat on ovens and stoves and fridges. i’m 29
The brief shots of the people vainly digging at the coal with their helmets and even their bare hands in utter desperation is just fucking haunting, especially when you know that many of the victims survived the initial impact and died by slow suffocation.

It was a horrible thing that day! I too cried! And I'm from tthe United states of America .

every episode of The Crown is fabulous but this may be the best . RIP and Godspeed and the hymn is so incredible
apparently one of her greatest regrets was taking so long to take any action on this tragedy.
Yes for the rest of reign she would regret it and she would return to this village more often than any other part of the UK.
How this episode did not win an award😮😮😮
Apparently one girl had a dream about being crushed by a landslide and she told her mother in the morning that she really didn't want to go to school because of the dream etc but her mother sent her anyway. This was the day of the Aberfan disaster...
Did she survive or die?
I'm calling BS
I have been to the cemetery and it’s absolutely heartbreaking. This is such a sad loss out of pure greed by the the NCB. HMTQ did go and she kept in contact with the families throughout her reign. She apparent;y has said it was one of her biggest regrets that she never went to Aberfan sooner. It touched her deeply not as a Queen but as a mother, the thought of having a child taken from you in this way was shocking.
This episode, along with the episode about the Bowes Lyon girls, hit me right in the feels. I was speechless once they both ended.
On the 50th anniversary I wandered round Basingstoke sobbing inconsolably like a loon. RIP young uns.
Quite possibly the single best hour of television ever made
Miners are tough, I am surprised that none of them didn't try to murder those high ups in the coal board.
This episode was the saddest of the whole season 3!
The beautiful Welsh valleys and areas of the north of england fuelled the industrial revolution but to huge cost with nothing ever being returned from London etc where the money went and they thrived.

May they all Rest In Peace. 😔
I was nine years old at the time of this awful tragedy and can still remember the absolute shock that went around the small Yorkshire (UK) community that I lived in.
We said prayers at school and held a collection. We could do no more, sadly. 😢

Non conoscevo questa storia. 😢 mi ricorda il disastro del Vajont qui in Italia, 1963. Più di 2000 morti😢

May their tiny little lives rest in peace x A community robbed of its children
one of the darkest momenymts in welsh modern history
It was so sad thinking it was their last day to the vacation. School was going to be closed by midday. If it was next day Or it happened in evening many would be survived.

I had family involved in tip clearing work and my father went there to dig out the kids on the Friday with many other people. Lots were turned away as there was so many offers of help. Lord Snowdon and Prince Phillip attended on her behalf. People on here comment were not even born and had no idea how bad it was that dreadful day. I can remember it like it was yesterday. The Crown is not real, its a TV show FFS !
disaster caused by self serving bureaucrats.
A cidade imperial.
Ao contrário dos 5.568 municípios brasileiros, Petrópolis tem uma origem diferente, do camarote VIP . Pelo que sei, a cidade nasceu para ser um ar condicionado da coroa que subia a serra fugindo do Rio 40 graus, sem eletricidade e cervas geladas.
Por conta desta origem nobre, os moradores da cidade imperial ainda hoje tem que pagar um imposto extra chamado laudênio para a família real dos Orléans e Bragança que tem como hobby viver no passado e namora o fascismo.
Se a família real inglesa com rainha dura e tudo mais está cheia de ladrão, vadio e pedófilo imaginem a outras que levam a vida nas sombras. O que me recorda: Aberfan.
Aberfan, é o nome do mais tocante dos episódios do seriado The Crown e de uma aldeia de mineiros que em 1966 some depois avalanche de escória de carvão descer causada por chuva forte matando 144 pessoas, sendo 126 crianças. Após uns dias de desdém, sua magestade foi lá apertar a mão dos enlutados que tem ao menos a sorte de não serem brasileiros que só puderam acenar para o helicoptero do Messias.
Fico a imaginar se esse contribuintes mortos na cidade imperial tem acesso vip aos céus?
Será que os corpos soterrados em terras da realeza tem um final melhor que de Mariana ou Brumadinho?
Em dias era para ter Carnaval. A festa nacional comandada pelo Rei Momo bebum, putanheiro, pilantrão e incompetente. A gente tola pensa que essa autoridade manda no país por só quatro dias.
Mas se lembrarmos de nossa história, na verdade são pra mais de quatro séculos.
Does anyone know the song that the queen plays on the record player?

The Aberfan tragedy was one moment in the Queen's reign, in the 20th century. 'The Crown' should reflect reality. Let the Queen & Prince Philip's lives of service remind us of the huge, tangible power for peace and stability the British monarchy is for everyone in Britain, the commonwealth and for the world. In the 19th & 20th centuries the U.S.A, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Greece suffered in various ways civil wars, political storms, and dictatorships. This shows what can go wrong in the absence of a head of state which is above politics, which opposes illegal dictatorship and helps keep the peace. If there are many reasons England, Wales, Scotland, Canada and Australia, have had no civil war since Culloden in 1746, having a constitutional monarchy is an important one.
Of course the Queen & Prince Philip had their failings as parents, and Prince Philip could be tactless. Whatever mistakes the royal family have made, let us be grateful for the service they give, and for the difference the monarchy makes for the better, in the world. There will always be violence in the world, and billions of people who know or understand nothing of the British monarchy. The value of the British crown since the 1700s is, billions of people have lived under it without civil war, lynching, dictatorship in their lives.
what a load of bollocks, parents lost their children and you think a monarch turning up for a few hours helps that?
Now we live same thing in turkiye , earthquake destroy our 10 city
May you have the resilience to build back despite the magnitude of the tragedy.
Sadly, unlike an earthquake, the disaster that befell Aberfan was avoidable. However, no one, including the authorities, or the Coal Board saw the potential danger of having huge hills of coal waste (coal slag) piled up behind a village. I was in school in Cardiff, South Wales when this immense tragedy happened. I still recall the TV reports of policemen, firemen and local people attempting to claw away the huge amounts of coal slag which engulfed the school and part of the village of Aberfan.

I watched this on the Crown I still think about it now, the crowns response was shameful she said she did not know how to cry but found time to cry when Margaret tried to take her life,
It was difficult for her to hijack this kind of event, it's all about photo ops for the royals.
Turn up at some kids home, shake hands, and have lots of photos taken where everyone comments about all the lovely expensive clothes they are wearing, ohh I love that coat, so stylish, not that most of them realise they're one off custom made designer items with a price tag in the tens of thousands.
But it matters not, they look good, they shook a few hands, they are the head of the charity.
All those working behind the scenes are unimportant, hey even the kids in the kids home are just props, nobody knows thier names or cares, but they only remember the name of the well dressed woman who was smiling for the camera at the poor urchin.
That's how it work's, Aberfan was a human tragedy, so a week was allowed to pass before arranging a visit, a visit she did not want to make..
She showed up at lockerbie under duress after Andrew made insensitive comments on TV about the terrorist event.
The monarchy who had close ties to gadaffi eventually secured the release of the lockerbie bomber.
Charles reffered to col gadaffi as your excellency, a word he only used for people he held in the highest regard.
Charles is a political animal, setting up deals, advising the government on policy change.
Only thing is he's unelected which is worrying
Que tristeza, cómo duele.
Britain’s worst tragedy.
I learnt it only after watching this episode. heartbreaking
@@sumiliy1812 Yes it was, the whole of the UK cried.
@@gailcrowe727 😢
did the company paid for their negligence
No. They will pay in Hell.
Elizabeth II's private secretary is reported to have said she acknowledged making mistakes by not visiting Aberfan at once. Whatever may be thought of that, 'the Crown' should reflect reality. Monarchy shouldn't be used as real-life soap opera, nor just as material to fill space in the media. Elizabeth II's death has seen much publicity, not much thought about why she matters, and why the UK has a monarchy.
The achievement of the British monarchy should become clear in comparison with the histories of other countries. In the 19th & 20th centuries the U.S.A, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Spain and Greece suffered in various ways civil wars, political storms, and dictatorships. This shows what can go wrong in the absence of a head of state which is above politics, and which opposes illegal dictatorship. If there are many reasons England, Wales, and Scotland have had no civil war since Culloden in 1746, having a constitutional monarchy to unify all the people is an important reason. In the UK, 'peace' in formal speech is "The King's Peace".
Of course King Charles III's first marriage was a tragic mistake; Prince Philip could be tactless; he & Elizabeth II made mistakes as parents. Whatever mistakes the royal family have made, let us be grateful for the unity the monarchy gives the UK & the world. By stabilizing Britain & the commonwealth (e.g. Canada & Australia), it promotes peace in the world. The sea around it didn't protect the U.S.A. against civil war in the 1860s, and the UK could have suffered civil war over slavery in the 19th century; likewise over world war, loss of empire, economic failure, or race in the 20th. There will always be violence and political problems in the world, and billions of people who know or understand nothing of the British monarchy and the stability it brings. Since the 1700s, billions of people have lived under the British crown without civil war, lynching, dictatorship in their lives. God save King Charles III, and his successors.
Sure, the English monarchy was all roses and sunshine. As long as you're a white dude.
The Queen did go to Aberfan and visit.
Totally agree William🙋♀️👏👏❣️
I think one of her reasons for not going earlier was she thaught that if she went she be the focus rather then focusing on the event
UK monarchy gives unity to the world? Are you serious?
En que capítulo sale eso
S3 Ep3 x
Why didnt the Queen react? I mean over 100 kids died.
cos she didnt give a shit
Prince Philip and Lord Snowdon attended on her behalf as the clean-up was a massive task and underfoot condition were very bad , there were thousands of rescuers, some were turned away . My father was one of the volunteers that went there mid-day of the disaster. The Queen went a week later and had been back four times since. A tree planted by her in the memorial garden.
She never truly cared about anything that happened in Wales. Partly the reason why I was never affected by her death
@@sjfootball1692 what a load of rubbish . She was devastated by that disaster. And stated that she had wished she came there with Phillip. But the area was unstable for a week because of thousands of tons of waste was still unstable . The police stopped people from going there to help as Moy Road is a narrow road . The Crown is a TV show and NOT factual
She was not a good person. Cold, humourless and a protecter of child molesters.
Esse foi o pior episódio pra me, chorei
А теперь дети умирают в Палестине ,а весь мир за этим наблюдает 😓дети не должны умирать
How pitiful and trying to the queen
This is awful! That music drowns out everything!
The queen has no heart ore feelings for somebody else 'she is not human a puppet .🤬
This show seriously misrepresented the Queen here.
This is from actual accounts:
The delay in going to Aberfan attracted some criticism and years later the Queen's former private secretary, the late Lord Charteris, said he felt he had given her poor advice.
"We told her to stay away [from Aberfan] until the preliminary shock had worn off," he said, adding that it was the biggest regret of her reign.
But for those left mourning in the village there was nothing but love and respect for the Queen, who they felt helped them during their darkest hour.
"To come to Aberfan wouldn't have been appropriate," said Jeff Edwards, the last child to be rescued from the school, who the Queen always referred to as "the little boy with the blond hair".
"The trouble with any royal visit is that you have an entourage and it just takes over and the rescue work was still ongoing.
"To have her come down any earlier would have added to the utter confusion."
He said the tragedy clearly affected her and she was visibly moved as she walked down from the cemetery to a local house.
"When she went into that house she was really upset and she had to compose herself before she went on to meet the relatives and families who had lost children and relatives," added Mr Edwards, who went on to serve as an independent mayor of Merthyr Tydfil and council leader.
The Queen walked to Moy Road, the street that led to Pantglas Junior School, where mourners had gathered to meet her.
"She came across and spoke to us and I didn't think of her as royalty really," said Mary Morse.
Marilyn Brown, whose daughter Janette was killed aged 10, recalled: "You could see that she was quite emotional. You could see that she cared, you know."
"To me that day, she didn't come as the Queen, our monarch, she came as a mother, to sympathise, to empathise, to really appreciate what everybody had been through that day," added Denise Morgan.
Marjorie Collins, whose eight-year-old son Anthony Wayne died in the tragedy, said the Queen's visit had helped the community more than anything.
"They were above the politics and the din and they proved to us that the world was with us, and that the world cared," she said.
This music ruined the entire video
Not quite the right music, I agree...
I showed this to my 97 year old grandmother in Cardiff and told her it was actual footage 😂
🤡
Not at all sure how that's funny.

i could have survived that. metal can’t melt. I would have put a stove on the ground, sat on it and road the waves of lava until it was cold and i can walk off it
You are absolutely tone deaf
Wave of lava? Think you missed the plot here?
Can you send me some of those drugs you are taking? metal can't melt? lava wave? I genuinely checked if you are not a 8 year old, because there is no way an grown adult would make such a idiotic comment. If done in humor it was utterly out of touch with reality.
@@Wardog-rf1tx how? it’s a volcano and lava spewed out…
@@ros303ros I’m not on drugs, the movie was about a true story of a volcano erupting. Lava spewed out and killed a lot of ppl. If they had thought like me, they would have all survived if they sat on ovens and stoves and fridges. i’m 29
