The marker on the communal grave of the twelve recovered bodies from the 1952 Aer Lingus accident
Since posting a photo of the grave on Geograph in 2006, I have received a number of e-mails from Ireland enquiring about the location of the grave and/or requesting a list of the names on the stone. Some have been from relatives of the deceased who wish to visit, others have been from people who remember one or other of the victims. Recently, I was contacted by a Dublin man enquiring about Melody Laker, aged 5, who died in the accident together with her mother (Dorothy Laker) and her father who was an Aer Lingus pilot. But for a last minute change of plan, Melody, a next door neighbour, was to have stayed with this gentleman's family in Dublin while her mother went to London. The grave contains the bodies of 12 of the 23 victims. The other 11 were never recovered. The site of the crash at Cwm Edno is marked by a memorial stone. Image Image

Mynwent Llanbeblig Cemetery
The cemetery at Image has been in a disgraceful state for many years. There are a number of war graves and the Commonwealth Graves Commission declared the state of the cemetery as unacceptable. A few years ago volunteers from the Royal Welch Fusiliers embarked on clearing the area http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/6174122.stm. Despite their efforts, most of the brambles and undergrowth have been allowed to overrun the greater part of the cemetery and evidence of vandalism, drinking and drug taking are everywhere.

Llanbeblig
This medieval church is dedicated to Peblig, a 5thC saint, who according to legend was the son of Macsen Wledig (the Roman Emperor Magnus Maximus) whose wife Helen was a local girl. A disciple of St Martin of Tours, Peblig returned to the area and established a monastic settlement - (a 'llan')- on this site.
