I was nine years old when this disaster happened. The age of the majority of the children that died that day. I lived about 50 miles from Aberfan but now live in Sweden. Two years ago I brought my swedish family over to Wales and we visited the graveyard. 2 grandchildren one of them the same age...9... said to me that she felt so sad after visiting there. But was able to learn about and tell about the disaster in her school. The whole school wanted to hear about it. There are many on here that were not aware of it. I suggest you read the BBC story...Aberfan the mistake that cost a village its children. Also I highly recommend you visit here if you wish to feel it for real. Read the story first though. What you see in the crown is nothing to what really happened. The story about the National coal board will anger you. God be with you little ones.
