Nan Lewis

This guest discusses how television hardens people to disasters and feels that this is what happened following Aberfan. The images from the disaster stay in her memory and the feeling of guilt for not going to the village to try to help. She remembers watching the Coronation in school and discussing the split in her chapel regarding the Investiture. She and her family left the village to escape the celebrating and the television. She speaks of someone putting a Union Jack on her brother-in-law, Elfed Lewys', house, who was also opposed to the Investiture. She discusses the Miners' Strike, the police's role in the conflict and the lack of sympathy for the miners' cause from the people of Dyffryn Tywi.
