It has taken decades, but a village that was torn apart by Nazi bombs has finally got the memorial it deserves. The little mining village of Cwmparc was initially a safe haven during the Second World War, but that all changed on April 29, 1941, when it was devastated by an air-raid by Adolf Hitler's fighter pilots.
It's believed the Luftwaffe failed to reach Swansea docks or Port Talbot so they ditched their bombs to lighten their load before returning to their base - with their bombs landing on the small community just outside Treorchy.
Twenty-seven people, including several children, died making it the biggest loss of live in a single night in the Rhondda. The youngest, John Williams, was just 18 months old.
