Minutes' silence for 50 casualties
Those who died in the Summerland tragedy were remembered last night, on its 43rd anniversary (Tue).
50 were killed, and many more injured or traumatised, when a huge blaze struck the leisure complex on 2 August, 1973.
A crowd observed a minute's silence opposite the former site on Queens Promenade yesterday evening - after which the names of the deceased were read out.
