❤️ FOUR LIVES LOST. FIVE YEARS ON, PEMBROKESHIRE HAS NEVER FORGOTTEN.
Five years ago today, what should have been an enjoyable morning on the River Cleddau in Haverfordwest ended in unimaginable tragedy.
On 30 October 2021, four people lost their lives in a paddleboarding disaster that shocked Pembrokeshire and made headlines across the country.
Today, we remember Paul O'Dwyer, Andrea Powell, Morgan Rogers and Nicola Wheatley, whose lives were tragically cut short.
🎥 In this special tribute, we share footage of Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service training in the very same river, preparing for the moments when every second counts and lives hang in the balance.
Five years may have passed, but for the families, friends and communities affected, the memories remain.
