The deaths of 45 men killed 50 years ago in a colliery explosion have been remembered with a service at the site.
A gas explosion ripped through the Six Bells colliery near Abertillery, Blaenau Gwent at 10.45am on 28 June 1960.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, led a service of remembrance at the site.
He also unveiled a memorial to the tragedy, a 20m high sculpture of a miner by Sebastian Boyesen.
