IN the dark welsh valley
On the mountain side
Lay the little children
Close to where thay died
Their little lives have ended
Before thay reach there goal
Tender little children
Have paid the price for coal
We will never forget 21-10-66 |

I was a kid, it was on the TV news, I watched it with my nan and grandad.
The BBC cameras were focused on the rescue workers, and even now, 50 years later, what stayed with me was the silence, no words, no voices, just people working silently albeit desperately to rescue those children adults trapped beneath that colliery waste. |

I was just a little girl but I remember how scary it was seeing the scene on TV. In the years that followed and with each anniversary my understanding increased and I realised just how huge this tragedy was. It still makes me shudder now. RIP to a lost generation |
