Will be thinking of all the people and their families today. I've got tears in my eye reading about it. Good on Hamishes for putting on the tea and coffee. Alice

This will be very moving'the familes will be on everyones thoughts.

No doubt there shal be tears in a few peoples eyes tomorrow at the ceremony, Im glad that this is not a day that is just being passed by like it has been done in some previous years.

Although the day is to remember the 71 children lost my admiration goes to the countless people who have not just stood back and let the day pass as it usually would with a wreath laid at the memorial in Hawkhead Cemetery and have brought this terrible tragedy back into the public domain with dignity and respect.

This morning saw the 80th Anniversary of the Glen Cinema disaster, more localy known as paisleys "Black Hogmanay" with many survivors attending the ceremony at Paisley Cenotaph
