Hi Emanday:

A very sad event indeed. So many children's families left to mourn their young lives lost.

I attended the 80th Anniversary memorial at Paisley cross on Hogmanay and have photos and video of the event, most of the remaining survivors can be seen in the photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/historical ... 107828006/ and part of the service can be seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzds4-sHdkw
