The Prince and Princess of Wales visited the former coal mining village of Aberfan on the second day of their Wales trip before the Coronation next week.
They went to the Aberfan Memorial Garden to pay their respects to the 144 individuals, including 116 children, who lost their lives in the 1966 Aberfan disaster. The tragedy occurred when a coal mining waste tip collapsed and engulfed a school and houses in the Welsh village. The garden was opened in 1974 by Queen Elizabeth II as a tribute to the victims.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are on a two-day visit to Wales ahead of the Coronation next week.
They spent the day in Merthyr Tydfil to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team (CBMRT). This team keeps the local community and visitors safe 24/7, 365 days a year.
The royal couple participated in training activities with rescue volunteers before abseiling down a quarry.
After the training exercises, the Prince and Princess headed to the Dowlais Rugby Club where members of the team typically go to relax and socialise. They delivered pizzas and sat down to chat with locals, before doing a walkabout to greet the crowds that had gathered outside.

The Prince and Princess of Wales visited Birmingham on Thursday to celebrate the city’s diverse culture and heritage.
The royal couple visited the Indian Streatery as their first stop. They met with the proprietors, the Sharma Family, who not only bring authentic Indian street food to the city but also make significant contributions to the community, including training an all-female chef team. The Prince even assisted in taking a reservation!
William and Kate then hosted a reception at The Rectory restaurant in the city's Jewellery Quarter and met with local artists, designers, and playwrights to hear about how the creative industries sector is growing in the West Midlands.
Later they joined guests for a game of interactive darts before greeting members of the public outside.
Here's a brief video clip that summarizes today's engagements:
KATE'S OUTFIT
The Wales family joined other members of the British Royal Family for the Easter Sunday Mattins Service at St George's Chapel in Windsor.
This Easter marks the first of King Charles III's reign, and in another first, Prince Louis accompanied his parents and elder siblings for the traditional service. The Waleses were seen arriving at the chapel with other members of the British Royal Family.
The Princess of Wales looked elegant in her sapphire blue Catherine Walker 'Mayfair' Coat.
The custom design with a modified velvet shawl collar was first worn for the Commonwealth Day service in 2022 (shown below).
Today, the Princess matched her coat with a new chapeau - the 'Mayfair' Pillbox hat by Lock & Co, with a knot bow. She also owns this style in green.
Also making its debut on Kate were the Carousel Jewels 'Stella' earrings ($165), which boast oval-shaped lapis and moonstone set in sterling silver and a 22-carat matte gold finish.
She carried a new Emmy London 'Natasha' Clutch in a coordinating cobalt blue colourway ($425), and for the first time in public, she showed off a bold red manicure!
On Kate's feet were her Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Pumps in Praline Suede.
