Wales village remembers dark day when 116 of their children died in mining disaster

A Welsh village devastated by a landslide which almost wiped out an entire generation will fall silent as people mark the disaster's 50th anniversary.
One hundred and sixteen children died when 150,000 tonnes of coal waste slid down a hillside before smashing into Pantglas Junior School, Aberfan, on October 21 1966. Twenty eight adults also lost their lives.
