It’s easy to forget 01:19 - Sep 16 with 254 views

Anniversary yesterday.

It's a decade since four miners were killed when water rushed into a south Wales drift mine.
Charles Breslin, 62, David Powell, 50, Phillip Hill, 44, and Garry Jenkins, 39, died in the Gleision colliery, near Cilybebyll, Neath Port Talbot, on 15 September 2011.
Fellow miners Jake Wyatt, 68, and Nigel Evans, 49, were two of only three who escaped, and the weight of what happened and "survivors' guilt" still affects them.

Minutes applause before kick off today. Nice touch.

No one guilty of any wrongdoing though.

I think we commemorated it in the immediate aftermath of the disaster but I can’t recall a minutes silence on any of the other anniversaries?? I suppose the tenth anniversary is a landmark though. Nice to see the Millwall fans clapping also.

Each time I go to Bedd - au........................
