Aberfan prepares to mark 60 years since the 1966 disaster that devastated a Welsh village

Prime Minister Andy Burnham laid a wreath at the Aberfan memorial garden on Monday, saying the village 'was not treated properly by the authorities'. On 21 October 1966 a colliery spoil tip collapsed onto Pantglas Junior School, killing 116 children and 28 adults. Survivor Jeff Edwards, one of the last children pulled alive from the rubble, stood beside him. Burnham pledged around £140m for coal tip safety in Wales.

Dave Evans, 86, is believed to have made the first 999 call that morning.

He still hears a woman screaming 'the school has gone' in the street.

A BBC Two documentary shows Coal Board chairman Lord Robens offering the families no consolation.
