Dear all

Hello

I did not want to post this on the actual anniversary
for can I say personal reasons.

On 19 August 1987, a 27 year old man killed 16 people and left 15 others injuried in the quiet area of Hungerford, Berkshire.

This ranks as one of the worst gun atrocities along with Dunblane in 1996.

Sending gentle and healing thoughts to the people who are still recovering from their injuries, both mental and physical and the families of those who died.

Thank you.

Very sincere wishes
xx

I remember hearing the awful news that day.

Thinking of those still affected by those terrible events.
