Madam,

The two young lads were lost so terribly to sea as they were enjoying their day at the seaside in Barmouth. The heartache their parents must be feeling, one can’t put into words. The sea, while fascinating for the day tripper, is also very cruel. The whole community has felt the pain of their loss, as much as if these boys were one of their own.

The only thing we all hope for is that this tragedy will bring about more safety measures at our sea shore in the future.

Yours etc

Jean Miles

Harlech.
