Reverse description
Photo by Yousuf Karsh Camera Press Ltd 1966 - In 1966 a coal waste tip collapsed and slid into a school in the mining village of Aberfan in Wales claiming 144 lives. Her Majesty did not immediately visit the village, but she eventually decided to go eight days later, and ended up returning several times throughout her life. She later said her delayed response was her biggest regret as queen.
