I have been thinking of Aberfan over the weekend, and am pleased to add my thoughts to this site. Ray Davies, UK. I was six years old at the time, and it was my first memory of BBC News. There was a stunned silence in the house, and in other houses as news spread. Just the name “Aberfan” still sends shivers down the spine, even years later.
