Winter Hill disaster victims remembered

St John's memorial takes place 59 years on

Around fifty people gathered at a memorial this morning, to commemorate the 35 who died in the Winter Hill air disaster of 1958.

The short service, at Cooill y Ree, St Johns,was conducted by the Reverend Leslie Guthrie.

The names of those who died read out, before a poem by Kathleen Fargher was recited.

Margery Fargher was one of those in attendance - her husband died in the crash.
