The 'forgotten' rollercoaster disaster of Battersea funfair

On 30 May 1972 the Big Dipper at Battersea Park in south-west London crashed, killing five children and injuring 13 others.

Almost 50 years later, survivors say the tragedy has been forgotten and are calling for a permanent memorial at the site of the ride.
