M62 Coach Bomb 50Th Anniversary
A memorial service was held yesterday at Hartshead Moor Services for all those lost in the M62 coach bomb in 1974. One of those lost, Fusilier Stephen Whalley, aged 18, was a close friend of my wife and went to school with my BIL. He was heartbroken, as they were very close. My BIL still puts flowers on his grave every year. Stephens' mother kept a photo of him on her sideboard which had his regimental beret draped over it. She always said hello to him every day. He is buried at Boarshaw Cemetery, Middleton, actually not far from Lee Rigbys' grave. RIP. We will remember them.
