On 29th May 1951 at Easington Colliery occured the last major mining disaster in Great Britain when 81 miners plus 2 men of the rescue brigade lost their lives. On the 60th Anniversary of that sad day we paid tribute to those men with a march behind the colliery band and the Miner's Lodge Banner from the site of the colliery via a service in the church to the mass grave in the graveyard. Here the procession led by the colliery brass band parade up the main street of Easington Colliery towards the church.
