Witness to tragedy plans minute's silence
A witness to the Summerland disaster says we need to have annual commemorations of the event to remember those who were killed.
Tina Brennen lived above the popular tourist attraction when a fire destroyed it on August 2nd, 1973, claiming the lives of 50 people.
She is organising a minute's silence at the Summerland site on Sunday evening (7.30pm, 2 August) to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the tragedy, as well as hosting a gig at Amber Bar in Douglas on Saturday night.
Mrs Brennen says it's important for the Island to show it remembers the disaster:
'Significant work' needed to reduce people entering criminal justice system
Tourism professional calls for prisoners to clear footpaths
Government issues clarification on proposed changes to public housing policy
DHSC 'considering policy options' as Hyperbaric Chamber calls for more funding
