Gresford colliery worker's daughter remembers disaster

Memorial services will be held near Wrexham on Monday to mark the 80th anniversary of the Gresford colliery disaster.

On 22 September 1934 266 men and boys died when an explosion ripped through a section of the mine.

Ruby McBurney, whose father was killed in the disaster, says the children of the victims did not really understand what had happened until many years later.
