King Charles leads tributes to survivors of Aberfan school disaster on 60th anniversary

King Charles III led tributes on Wednesday to mark the 60th anniversary of the Aberfan school disaster in Wales. The disaster occurred on October 21, 1966, when a colliery spoil tip collapsed and slid onto a school, resulting in the deaths of 116 children and 28 adults.

In his tribute, the King described the event as the "most tragic of days imaginable," paying respects to the survivors and the community affected by the tragedy. The memorial marks six decades since one of the deadliest industrial accidents in British history.
