Remembering Dunblane

[murraymints]

this day in 1996 so many young lives were snatched from us.... lessons were learned, but the wee souls were lost forever....

[Cloverjo]

I remember that so well, Minty. Terrible.

[david small]

A scar on our history Minty. Poor wee souls.

[ferlew]

Every time I wake on this day, I remember it so well, and always will.

[Ric.ror]

I remember it being so close to Mothers day too

[maggiebee]

Remember it well. Friend's sister was a teacher there and we feared for her until we heard she was safe. This tragedy affected so many. Fly with the angels little ones.

I remember it so well. Those poor little mites and their teacher :o(

[marval]

I remember hearing about this on the news, a terrible tragedy.

Hope all the young ones are at rest.

What upset me the most about this terrible incident was the man whose wife had died and he was left with the sole upbringing of his little daughter and she was one of the ones killed on that awful day. The only thing he had left in the world and that monster took her away from him. I don't think I'll ever forget that.

In 1997, on the first anniversary of this tragic event, I was on a train travelling to Glasgow. As the evening train slowly went past Dunblane, the town was in darkness but in the windows of houses there were lots of candles burning. It was very moving - I'll never forget it.
