A light in the window tonight
A candle burning for Pontardawe and the families of the miners.

"Tragic loss of lives recently in Pontardawe have reminded us all how fragile life can be. Pontardawe is quite special in its community feeling. Everyone knows everyone, or knows someone who has a connection to those who have lost loved ones recently. Just a small thought through the power of facebook has developed into more. Many houses in the community have started placing candles in their front window tonight. Social networking can be used for good. We invite you to join us for the next few days to burn a candle in your front window to remember the lives lost in Pontardawe recently. A temporary memorial appears to have sprung up on The Cross Square, by the traffic lights. At 9pm on Sunday we will be placing candles there too.
Thanks go to all the messages of support, far and wide. It seems Pontardawe shares the Welsh community spirit with many of our Valley Towns, Welsh Towns, and even further afar. Family members of the lives recently lost have been in touch, and appreciate your gesture of support, and also join you with a candle in their window. Diolch."
