I dont even know if i will be able to watch this myself, saw a piece in a newspaper about it today with a class picture in it and found myself sobbing-. I can remember this happening quite clearly ten years ago, but to me then, although i found it sad, it didnt really affect me.
Today however, reading indepth about what happened 10 years ago, it really struck a chord with me, my eldest boy is 5 and in reception- I looked at the class photo today in the newspaper and felt so sad at such a waste of young childrens life in such an evil way. - As i say, i highly doubt that i will be able to watch it, but thought that some of you may want reminding that it is on.
"Dunblane: A Decade On, due to transmit on March 8th 2006, focuses on the tenth anniversary of the tragic deaths of the 16 children and their teacher. This documentary features an exclusive interview with one of the teachers who gives her account of what happened that day. She gave evidence to the Cullen Inquiry but has never given an in-depth interview before.
Executive Producer, Will Hanrahan, was one of the reporters sent to record the aftermath of the event.
"I drove the same journey to Dunblane as I did ten years ago, " he said. "It was my first time back. And as I drove nearer, I felt the convulsions of grief the whole country felt at the news in 1996. It has been a programme made with the help of a teacher, a parent and a pupil whose story should never be forgotten."
