LIVE: 60th Anniversary of Aberfan | The King, Queen and Prince William Attend

Today marks 60 years on from the Aberfan disaster. The King and Queen, alongside Prince William, will join the community to pay tribute to those who lost their lives. On the 21st October 1966, 116 children and 28 adults were killed when the coal tips from Merthyr Vale Coilery slipped down the mountain and buries Pantglas School. About half of the children from Pantglas School lost their lives, along with five of their teachers. This disaster shook the royal family to the core, with the first time a royal has visited an active search with Prince Philip showing his support on the rescue site the next day, and Queen Elizabeth visibly emotional when visiting the Aberfan community 8 days after the tragedy. ♛ Subscribe to our YouTube channel (tap the bell icon and stay up to date with all the latest Royal videos!) - https://bit.ly/3jNBYZ7 ♛ Find us on TikTok   / royalfamilychannel   ♛ Follow us on Facebook -   / royalfamilychannel   ♛ Tweet with us! -   / royalfamilyitnp
