It was a housewives' day trip that turned into the stuff of nightmares.
Fifty years ago today, a packed coach crashed in the Yorkshire Dales after its brakes failed, killing 32 passengers and the driver.
The tragedy at Dibbles Bridge, which left a further 13 people injured, was, and remains, Britain's worst road disaster.
Today, a memorial service for those killed is being held in the North Yorkshire town of Thornaby, where the 46 occupants had travelled from.
The coach passengers were all friends and neighbours who had paid £2.50 for the day trip. They had packed lunches with them and had planned to enjoy high tea.
