Did anyone else watch this last night?
It's clearly very emotive but I thought it was really well done. I'm almost ashamed to say that I'd forgotten what a pivotal role the families played in gun control laws after the event. It's harrowing but really worth watching on ITV catch-up if you can.
PS normally any program title featuring a person's name is usually annoying as it's more about the person than the subject but this is not the case with this program
Yes, I watched it. I know one of the parents. I thought Lorraine Kelly did a very good job.
My friend is one of the survivors, her account of the days events is the most harrowing thing I have ever heard.
An incredibly risky one to make but thankfully it came across as sincere & respectful. Even now decades later it’s just unspeakably horrific.
I don’t know if any else feels it but when I run through it I feel anxious, guilty & frustrated.
I remember the day it happened. A chap I worked with was in to shooting, including hand guns of all sorts. He told me he had little difficulty giving the hand guns up. He was telling me how he actually felt guilty, like the pastime he considered a sport was responsible.
The background music was beautifully done by James Allan of Glasvegas.
The man should never have had guns in the first place. An utter tragedy and a travesty.
Absolutely no way I could watch that. 😢
@Drac - it was sensitively done but it's still very powerful and no punches pulled.
I didn't see it (the documentary) but was at school only a couple of miles away the day it happened. The hours, days, weeks and months after were surreal and something I hoped never to see again.

Indeed. It's an emotive subject that I have a lot to say about but I feel this is neither the time nor place.
Haven't watched it yet. One of the handful of events where I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. Witness room at Glasgow High Court. One of the court officers came in and asked if anyone was from Dunblane before passing on the news.
All these years later it still seems surreal. These things don't happen in small towns 20 miles away.
I will never forget where I was when I heard about it, taking my daughter to school in Fort William. I lived in Stirling for a couple of years in the 80s and visited Dunblane regularly though I have no real connections to the place. I just liked the town and the cathedral in particular. 25 years I actually thought it was a bit longer. A truly horrifying event.

Yup,I was cycling along listening to a radio on the River Lea towpath.
I had not long become a parent,stopped the bike and burst in to tears.
My colleague had a daughter that age at the time. I remember him being genuinely shaken by it.
Seem to recall that Lorraine Kelly was the first reporter on the scene at Lockerbie, her current media profile makes that hard to believe.
