On 21 December 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 exploded in the air and then crashed down into the small town of Lockerbie. All 259 passengers and crew were killed, as well as 11 people on the ground.
Twenty years on, a series of events will be held in both Scotland and America to remember those who lost their lives on that fateful day. The disaster shocked the world back then and created a bond between the US and Scotland that will never be broken.
There isn’t enough space to record the names of all the dead, but the Scots who died that day were:
Kathleen Flannigan, 41
Thomas Flannigan, 44
Joanne Flannigan, 10
Dora Henry, 56
Maurice Henry, 63
Mary Lancaster, 81
Jean Murray, 82
John Sommerville, 40
Rosaleen ‘Rosalind’ Somerville, 40
Paul Somerville, 13
Lyndsey Ann Sommerville, 10
Those responsible aren’t even worthy of a mention.
