Swansea mourns as last minerfound dead

PRAYERS will be said across churches in Wales tomorrow for the loved ones of the four victims who perished in the Gleision colliery disaster.

Archbishop of Wales Dr Barry Morgan said the tragedy had struck a chord with him. His father had worked as a miner, and often talked about the dangers of working in collieries.

“It is not an ideal occupation — my father was a miner and I knew first hand about what a tough and dangerous job it was, and still is,” he said.
