What an honour it was to be invited down to the memorial of the Aberfan Disaster yesterday.

This tragic event is close to all our hearts, some of us living through it, remembering the day, losing friends, families and neighbours and others feeling the loss within our community, growing up hearing the stories.

It was great to see so many of our local community come along to respect and remember those 144 lives that were lost 60 years ago. The first service, surrounded by families, friends, locals, councillors and then the Royal Family. The second service, a more intimate closed service for the family and friends.

Thank you to each and every person who came along to pay their respects.

Whilst we remember those who tragically lost their lives please spend a minute remembering those who survived, lived through it, the familes whose lives were torn apart and the community who carry the profound grief, yet have shown true strength, dignity and resilience to rebuild. Aberfan is forever in our hearts!

Today we stand together and remember the children who never came home, the families whose lives were changed forever and the tragedy that a community as a whole still remembers sixty years on.

Sixty years ago, a primary school and several homes were engulfed in thousands of tonnes of coal slurry. 144 lives were tragically lost. Among those lives were 116 children, teachers, staff and members of the local community.

60 years on, forever remembered, never forgotten.

A busy coffee morning today - we had the pleasure to have members from the HMS Tigers join us again this morning. They presented us with a plaque to display.

We also had members of the Aberfan Committee join us to finalise plans for tomorrow's memorial event in aid of the 60th anniversary of the Aberfan Disaster.

Our calanders are flying out, have you got yours yet?

We wouldn't have been able to complete this without the help and support from John from Same Old Smith Photography for capturing these photos and having the patience with us all, Dragonfly Print for bringing our visions to life and the guys at Tredegar Veterans Support Hub for allowing us to use your space.

We also like to say thank you to Merthyr Labour Club for always supporting us.

Lastly to each and every person who has bought a calander from us already, we appreciate the support.

If you'd like to purchase one of our calanders, please see any of our members.
