The **** at the NCB never fully accepted their blame in all of it and the following day the head of the Coal Board was too busy getting an award from a university in Surrey to attend the site of the disaster.

I get to Aberfan whenever I can and visit the Garden of Remembrance, there's such an eerie silence there. I won't be able to make it tomorrow but it will be affecting the whole community.
