I was shaken too, aged nine, in my British forces primary school in Germany- we went swimming in a small mining town called Hückelhoven which had slag heaps just like Aberfan.

It’s stayed with me too. I was eight at the time so it hit me very hard and the reaction of my parents scared me. Because we had Welsh relations and holidayed at Milford Haven every year we felt connected. The idea that a mountain could move and swallow up a school gives me the shivers even now.

Remembering those who perished so needlessly at Aberfan 60 years ago, many of whom were of my age. It shook me and it still does. Also thinking of those who fought for justice after the event.

They have even had Royal bottoms sitting on them. King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited York Minster for the traditional Maundy Service in 2023 with the chairs being front and centre.
