Still clearly remember that day. Makes you appreciate the fragility of life.

Very sad

I watched it and cried my heart out, so sad. I remember the day well, was playing 5 a side that night in deepest darkest North Kent
and a player from the other team was making jokes about it, us fathers ripped into him in the changing room as it was obvious he was not a dad and let's just say, he did not finish the game, as we kicked the shite kicked out of him, for that comment and not the red and blue south London shirt he had on, which was a target for the Brighton, Millwall and Charlton fathers on my team.

My wife and I watched a bit of it last night. I admit to turning it off as I was crying so much.

At the time neither of us had kids and she was working for the argus so pre internet days, they were producing ready for the evening edition. What was a horrific story then, takes on an extra dimension when you have kids. I'm also a school governor and I started thinking about all the security etc that are now in place.

It did seem to have one positive impact in as much as the gun laws were tightened and toughened hugely after that event

On again now and just seen it. I'd forgotten it was 5 year-olds. Being a father twice over and now having a granddaughter approaching that age, it just doesn't bear thinking about. Well done to the BBC for doing something so well, though.

If there is anything positive we can take from this awful tragedy and Hungerford a few years before, its we can still be horrified and shocked at these tragedies years later. Unlike umurica where it would barely raise an eyebrow.

School premises are more secure these days. Sad reflection but necessary.
