[jacdeed]

fregin hec this is flooding back the memories of that day. they poor kids didn't deserve to die like that.

[TheGuDiR]

mama take this bage for mé

[1980cath]

That man as you call him was nothing but a monster for what he did to those children and the teacher,he should never have been allowed to get inside that school and commit such a terrible ordeal on those that he hurt.My thoughts go out to the families of those children and i hope the children are now at peace .R.I.P LITTLE ONES.

[thechosen2010]

Wish I could go back in time and put 5 bullets through the head of Hamilton before he reached those school gates. Even at the cost of my own life and freedom.

I can't fathom what sort of person could aim a gun at a 5 year old.....

RIP to the victims and condolences to their families.

[MissJayJ18]

It's so sad. To see the ages it heartbreaking, so many kids futures gone, so many families ripped apart!!

Wasn't there a song for this with kids singing? It was a single or something?

RIP to all those whole died!

x

[Caledonia25]

@MissJayJ18 Yes there was a single released with the children from the choir of Dunblane Primary featured, the song is called Throw These Guns Away, I have it also so if you can't find it on here I will upload it.

[ThatGirlLoserChopxD]

This is so saaad =(

[xmandababesx]

great song gone bt neva 4gtn

[AllThingsMustPass701]

RIP all the victims and families of this tragedy. This is the best version of the song after Dylan's original...the best (not to mention saddest) is when the choir comes in (i think the choir is the siblings of the victims)

makes me want to cry

[geester82]

[celticcaz1]

they never done anything the guy was just a maniac that decided to go in to the school and do it read upon things before u comment ppl have lost kids and a the teacher to ffs show some respect that y ppl like u should keep there mouths shut less they know the facts

[pwincesslaura1993]

@dirkwang1 how could you say such a thing?

[steve8765]

I can't believe it's been nearly 14 years since this terrible tragedy when a crazed mad gunman opened fire on innocent kids as young as 5 years old !!..Myself and loads of other people would agree with me,this must not ever happen again !...

[saugagirl83]

I remember this so well; I had just turned 13 the week before it happened.

[kinkyminky999]

13 years on, i still think of this tradegy, still think of these families.

i am English, not scottish, but i remember being just a teenager, and being shocked and scared of the future... i was joining.

these babies are not forgotten, nor are their familes, siblings, friends, teachers and community. Please, don't let this happn again on our grounds, or anywhere else. PLEASE.xxxx

[loveisdead2]

i can't belive there sicko like that in this world there all too inoccent and young.

i can never listen to this song without crying. god bless them kids.

thanks for sharing this and also thanks for donating this song for the charity supporting them kids familys

[SuperShithawk]

God bless the innocent children and keep them in your arms until they are reunited with their loved ones. They will always remain in our thoughts and prayers.

[threecordtricks]

unbearable hurt so sad familys have to cope with these things

[LingFangKou]

A true tribute to the children. May God continue to bless them and hold them in his arms.

[MrMartinkirby]

@LingFangKou i am a father of 3 vand cannot imagine the pain that the parents of these lost babes feel god bless all of them

[glasgowsiol]

This song was sang by Ted Christopher, who also re-wrote the new verse with the kind permission of Bob Dylan.

[BrianW1lls]

this was yesterday for me.  in work, as the news broke,my workmate was from Dunblane. :(

[charlytos1]

Mark...and Bob....two greattest !!!

[aapddd]

they did a good thing to put Mark on the guitar because he always plays with his feelings. Now you can feel his emotions to in the guitar playing , nice work !

[russelltrigger]

This is soo sad, and it hard not to bring a tear to the strongest eye!

[AndyFarquharJulie]

it's pretty sad your all having an argument under a video created to remember such a tragic day and to remeber the lives of those who were taken. have some respect.

[spannerotoole]

13 years on and this is still a painful memory, I was around 13 at the time, I remember feeling a great sadness for the victims' families. I heard too that Chris Rea had a hand in this recording.

[bermondsey101]

this song makes me cry as i remember it happening and the local youth club i went to in 1996 recorded our own verson of this song for the children that died. god bless them all xxx

[judopathoftruth]

Really hits me hard this song

[cue1cole]

it does me too xx

[zoneofboy]

remember that day so well. it was the day innocence was taking from the world for good.

[20RIGGANS08]

Lest We Forget

death was too good for evil man, he was a coward and should of stuck about and payed for his actions.

Death No Longer Storms This Land

[zoneofboy]

what would be the point in him sticking around? trialled & banged up for life! he would of evidently ended up crazy in a cell, but he was crazy.

would you stop with your " death no longer storms this land!". that is a myth by now. for christ sake's man i want peace just a much as the bible says but there will never be peace. there is to much anger and to many crazy cats in this world. i would like to believe what you just said man but it was the day all innocence was taking form this world.

[20RIGGANS08]

Death no longer storms this land, is a loyalists peace statement, so dunno what the fuck you are talking about wee man, n whats aww this shyte about crazy cats, and believe what you want a honestly dont care, and as big a disaster as this was, it was by far no the worst this wasnt the day all innocence was taking from this world, think you needty go away and grow up wee man !

[zoneofboy]

haha! yes i think your right wee man

[bogen1050]

Since this bloody masacar, the UK invested over 30,000 pounds to ensure that schools across the country has security doors (Door codes) so wankers like that don't get in and do it again.

[Videodrome24]

How is he a wanker?

[notlob23]

3o years old and working in a secondary school that day. Still remember everything so vividly. Hope Hamilton is burning in the hell of his own making.

God bless Gwen and her babies x

[spannerotoole]

sorry for your loss.

[gravebat]

what accually happened?

this song always makes me cry :_(

[SignalCO45]

I was at primary school at that time. ever so sad, NEVER AGAIN this saddend the whole UK.

[fatboy6846]

so so sad,,,my 2nd daughter was only 11 days old when this happened,i cant and hate to think what the parents went through and probably still are,god bless little angles you will never be forgotton x

[stblanescullen]

I attended this school from primary 1 right up to primary 7 and was in the nursery within the school at the time. Last week a scottish newspaper published an article accusing to survivors of shaming the victims because of alocohol and drug references on their bebo pages. I find this shocking, as although i dont encourage drug or alcohol abuse, these boys are 18 year olds trying to live there lives as normal as possible. They shouldnt have to let this massacre plague their thoughts everyday.

[MoonlightObsession]

I was six when this happened and my brother was 4. We were at a primary school a few hours north of Dunblane that day. I remember my mum lighting a candle and my school holding a two minute silence. I also remember not being able to understand why anyone would kill children (13 years later I still don't).

RIP x

[gorillamusic]

I can remember that day so vividly as I was in primary 7 at another school in the area only 10 to 15 minutes away from Dunblane and at the time the school was locked up and no one could get in or out.

I can also remember the noise of the Ambulances passing my school going to Stirling Royal so vividly as if it happened only a few weeks ago.

A day that I and many others will never forget.

[mkw1980]

I remeber this being all over the news when i was 12. Now my little girl is 5 and at school It must be so hard to imagine the pain the parents must still feel :(

[SASwarzone1]

The teachers never called te police so i did today.

The police said that he had spoken to the teacher over the phone "Mrs. Mcmanus" Who confirmed my fears, the Head teacher said that it was dealt with.

The Lady ie. The junkie had had a bad day.

In other words don't take the matter further as it would be an embarrassment to the head teacher and the school to hell with the Kids safety.

Wonder what would have been done if it were a MAN who was entering the play ground and being abusive?

[SASwarzone1]

She then tried to force her way into the school causing the teachers to lock a class room door to keep the lady out.

She continued to yell abuse and all was heard by the Kids some were crying.

My child was one of the victims of this lady's anger.

No helpers were in the area for 5+ minutes.

[SASwarzone1]

Good Vid.

My little cousin was in that school at the time of the shooting.

Turns out that even our own people have became blind to the terrible shooting also though.

At Doune primary on Friday a notorious Junkie lady walked up to kids in the play ground and started shouting and threatening them.

[cheung1874]

I was at primary school at the time of this. We were doing a show in our gym that night. It was surreal the whole audience knew that this gym could have been any gym in scotland. We lost so many innocent lives that day and an age of innocence in our schools died forever. So tragic and sad even to this time. This tragedy is one that will forever haunt us who lived through it, never mind the families of the innocent victims

[eggymark]

i was in Edinburgh in 1996, and working for a company where some of the employees where directly affected. It was a shock then, and as a father it is still shocking that such evil existed. He was a coward to kill himself, but then that proves he was of sound mind. Wherever this man is I hope he is suffering intolerable pain in hell.

[kevin308lol]

im a 28 year old male and from the uk and I fully remember this on the news when I was 15. Seeing this now makes me fee sad but then I feel total hate towards Hamilton the gunman. Why on earth would someone want to harm 5 year old children. I wish ih was alive today because & I had a chance of viliganit revenge

[1thousandways]

The children of Dunblane were the victims of a satanic social control mechanism, every UK person over the age of 25 should know what I'm talking about. It WASN'T triggered just as a pre-text for banning handguns.

[LauzzC]

god bless the parents and people who loved these poor souls r.i.p children that are with god, your parents know your in a safe place, parents your child is looking down thinking we will meet when uu come to heave and thou shal see you x x x good bless u all

[vickywalker1976]

my son was 3 months old when i heard of this tragedy,i remember just holding him and crying for hours.god bless the parents left behind.x

[Klarasusanne]

1996 verübte ein 46 jähriger Mann ein Massaker in einer Schule in Dunblane/England wo 16 Kinder und ihre Lehrein ums Leben kamen. Leider weiss ich nicht wer der Sänger ist aber er schrieb extra einen Vers um und spielte zusammen mit Mark Knopfler in Gedenken an diesen schlimmen Tag.

[Politicratos]

Scotland's worst tragedy. God Bless.

I was in primary school when this happened, was only a year or two older than the victims and remember all the new security procedures being brought into effect after Dunblane as Fife isn't far from Perth.

[ab217ez]

I am a ex serving police officer and remember driving to work and having to stop the car as I couldnt see properly for the tears when I heard the news. Such a waste and so sad. God bless the families.

[athlete1983]

born 1938 good times but so many disasters life can be so cruel my age u name it me and my generation lived through it Aberfan(man made) Dunblane, Africa, China, America,no need to go on we just never seem to learn

[grizzlylegend]

i remember hearing about this onboard hms chatham in a mess full of 57 tough lads and there was so many tears for these poor children. I hope that bastard hamilton rots in hell cos if hes up there in heaven when i go i will kick this scum to hell

[cue1cole]

me first... well said my friend

[Jojoseahorse]

I can't believe I only just thought of looking here for this song; I knew of its existence but had never actually heard it, and didn't think I would have that chance, since I live in New York (but I'm Scottish). When this happened, everyone was calling me, asking if I knew/was related to any of the victims. I was pregnant at the time, and I remember picking up my 4 year old from nursery school and holding my newspaper in front of my face so she wouldn't see my tears. RIP Angels :)

[cue1cole]

princesscarly2k7 i can hardly see what im typing cos im crying so much again.. love ur text very warm and full of heart. my heart pours out deeply to all the parents and ive run out of tears, throat is tight and sore. if i had a wish it would be to have beaten the bastard to death with my bare hands but hey that would be for the parents and probably millions of others who feel the same as me. nathan from south uk

will someone explain what happened? i am not familiar

[fragglesrock1303]

a gunman killed 16 children and there teacher in dunblane scotland 13th march 1996

[buttsyrc8]

Did not realise that the kids were so young - god bless them all!

This was heartbreaking, but at least the gun ban that followed has possibly saved others - I hope.

Also spare a thought for the kids at Beslan.

[firecraw67]

never again. I close my eyes and remember. Shine and smile down on us little ones,please

[donnymcgod]

[zbawlchhim]

These angels are now safe in heaven.

[SophieOwen10]

I was the same age as these kids. So unbelivably sad that they never got the chance to really experience life...

[xxEilidhxBaileyxx]

you know, those kids would be the same age as me if they hadnt been killed. i remember my mum coming in from work crying, she knew the teacher who died. RIP a' ghaoil :(

[angelwithadirtyface3]

I was 13 when this happened and had been sent home poorly from school. I can remember being sat on the sofa at my aunts with the tears running down my cheeks. What a tragic loss. God bless the families of those bairns and their teacher xx

[sandybeachdonkey]

[rimmyrammyroo]

nice song, very fitting, the diabolical actions of a seriously fucked up man, ruined many lives, also denied all them children a chance of life. how sad

[jonboy198621]

its still sad wat happend he should nerver get away with it. i always listen to this song but it should of nerver of happened

[mightybhoy]

i sit listening to this song as a scotsman with a sixteen year old son i will never forget those sad events 12 years ago i sit here with tears in my eyes and i still think of those innocent kids to this day. RIP celtic supporters the world over.

[dajoontje]

Had I been born in Dunblane, I would have been one of those kids. I'm 16 now, the age those kids would have been. What kind of monster would kill children so young? If anyone does not deserve such a thing to happen, it are kids that young.

RIP

[fiona291188]

i was born in dunblane and i was a primary 3 pupil on this day and was sitting in the assembly hall moments before this terrible tragedy happened. we lost 16 beautiful children that day who would now be amazing 16 and 17 year olds.

these amazing tributes really do show that people care! i sometimes feel that this is lacking in our world today. but this means so much!

never forget these beautiful children who tragically lost their lives on this day 12 years ago!

RIP xx

[DopedUpMonkey]

I Don't live far from Dunblane, and i was in Primary 1 at the time of the Shooting, which now, when i think that children, not far from me, who were the same age as me where being killed...At the time i didn't understand, but now.. It was just an act of extreme evil..

[petemitch420king]

THIS HAPPEDED IN 1996 ?

I live in U.S. and I can't beliieve I'm not aware of this tragedy. I'm old enough to know this.... shame on me.

Peace and love to the teacher and the students of Dunblane and their families.

[kyliekackass]

i always go cold n get shivers down my spin wen i listebn 2dis song .x.x.

[2rainbowed]

Shame on our major TV networks, who never really cover stories outside the USA unless it involves an AMERICAN, or it's something like a new Pope or whatever. I try to find other ways to know what's happening outside this place --and I live by Wash, DC!-- by watching public TV (mostly documentaries there though), the BBC, or the computer. And we're told we have so much "freedom" that we're free from propaganda. HA! I'd like to know what happened. I heard Yusuf Islam mention this too in a song

[grizzywold]

I have a boy who is nearly five, and could not imagine him not being here. I also have a step-daughter who is 17 (the age the children here would have been now. Again I could not imagine her not being here. I truelly hope a tragedy like this never happens again. Love to all the parents.xxxx

[cruserb]

Mark improves any song he touches. He's the best!

[playgirl20078]

who sings the b side song on this cd called throw them guns away cos cant find it newhere

[daiekatana]

Indeed a beautiful Tribute, But the honour goes to one Ted Christopher, Not Mark Knopfler i am afraid (admitting that mark is indeed one of the greatest singers and Guitarists walking the planet).

This song, along with a few other songs make up an album which i believe still can be purchased, Proceeds going to a charity supporting the loved ones of similar incidents like Dunblane.

[Caledonia25]

Im confused sorry. Do you mean this isnt the Mark Kopfler Version? Because I bought this when I was 15. It's got the verse in it that he changed... This town will never be the same, so for the bairns of Dunblane, we ask please, never again...

[daiekatana]

Mark is only playing the guitar, He is not singing. Sorry, i forgotto write that. i own the album that ted christopher released in memoriam to the tragedy. Ted also sings the B side, Throw those guns away.

[playgirl20078]

who sings the b side song on this cd called throw them guns away cos cant find it newhere

[daiekatana]

Ted Christopher who sings both "throw them Guns away," and "Knocking on heavens Door" on this album.

[Caledonia25]

Oh, I apologise. I was only aware that Ted Christopher wrote and sang Throw These Guns Away. I didn't realise he also wrote that extra verse in this and sang it.

And playgirl, it's a hard song to get. You could check ebay if you wanted to buy it. I have it on my playlist only not in my actual files, so it wont let me put it on here sorry.

[lammykins54]

these kids and their teacher was never be forgotten, god bless each and every one of you.

ANGELS LIVE ON FOREVER........XXXXXXX

[robsgirl73]

Fantastic tribute to the victims of Dunblane without all the political crap you get on other posts. Well done and keep up the good work everyone, we will never forget them.

May all the angels rest now in peace with their teacher looking over them.

Good Night and God Bless

[kellyinuk]

This is so sad,what a waste of young lives.

I hope that bas#ard rots in hell.

R.I.P to all the children and their teacher,god bless you all.

[cirillo78]

amazing..

and so sad, guys.

[chrisalexander21]

is really awful. Difficult to comprehend why someone would do this. One thing that i thought of the other day - Its hard and horrible to think of for the public, but i just wonder what it was like for the first paramedics and police on the scene... I would be willing to be that they prolly would never be the same people again.

[GMcOnline]

I was only 5 when this happened (in Primary 1).

R.I.P. to all those who lost their lives. My thoughts are with you all and your families.

[BoojumMXX]

Boy I've never heard that the story of this song is SO terrible! R.I.P

[ekstradycja]

this is his unique sound, u hear 2 seconds and juzt know it's mark Knopfler!

[Platoon99]

Mark Knopfler its wonderfull!!

[Caledonia25]

I remember it like it was yesterday and I was only 14 at the time. I rarely listen to the song because it makes me cry instantly too.

[Karina2079]

This make me cry listening to this song even now 11 years later. :(

[Karina2079]

This lovely yet so sad it had to made at all, thank you all the same.

R.I.P Angels and their teacher
