There are a lot of posts about the tragedy this week, in which almost all the children from the village died in a preventable accident.
Those of us in other schools around Britain sat in disbelief as our teachers told us of the horror.

Aberfan - 59 Years On

On the anniversary of the #Aberfan Disaster, which happened long before I was born, I think about the village, the memorial garden now there, and visiting the cemetery and seeing so many graves of children. It’s all so well kept, and thought provoking. I’m glad that after all these years, it is talked about with respect.

I was 10 in 1966 and in a primary school in Cardiff just like the one destroyed in Aberfan.

Our headmaster, Mr Harris, walked into our classroom to tell our form teacher of the disaster.

As he looked around our classroom, he wept...It was the first time I'd seen a grown man cry in public.

I still remember that awful day as if it was yesterday.

59 years ago the Aberfan disaster took place taking the lives of many children at their primary school. My grandfather went and dug for survivors, and by all accounts was never the same afterwards!

"Palace of Gold" was #LeonRosselson's response to the #Aberfan disaster. 59 years ago today, 116 children and 28 adults were killed a spoil heap collapsed at 9.15am, engulfing Pantglas Junior School and a row of houses.

The #AberfanDisaster happened because #NationalCoalBoard safety guidelines had been ignored and warnings dismissed. Rosselson's finest song lays bare the #classPolitics of disdain for the safety of #workingClass children.
