Twenty years ago today, a terrorist blew the Boeing 747 Clipper Maid of the Seas, operating as Pan-Am Flight 103, out of the sky above the Scottish borders town of Lockerbie, killing all 259 people on board as well as 11 people on the ground.
I was just five years old at the time, but as I lived in Carluke in Lanarkshire at the time I remember vividly from travelling south to visit family here in Walkden the large fence constructed to shield the crash site from the passing traffic on the A74. My thoughts today are with the victims of this terrible atrocity and their family and friends.
