Welsh church services remember four mine tragedy victims

Friends and family of those who died came together in churches across the Swansea Valley, South Wales, to seek spiritual comfort. The nation’s rugby team dedicated its World Cup win in New Zealand to the families of the four men and the Prince of Wales has agreed to become patron of an appeal fund set up in their memory.

Yesterday people lit candles, wrote condolences and sat in quiet reflection to remember Phillip Hill, 45, Charles Breslin, 62, David Powell, 50, and Garry Jenkins, 39.
