A ONE minute silence will be held next month in memory of those who lost their lives in the Summerland tragedy including Alan Barker, from Fearnhead, and Sean Kelly, from Woolston.
The two friends died when a fire destroyed the £2m Summerland indoor entertainment and leisure complex on the Isle of Man on August 2, 1973.
The one minute silence will be held at the site, which now lies derelict.
Tina Brennen, who has campaigned tirelessly to make sure the events of that day are never forgotten, said: "Time is racing by and Sunday, August 2, marks the 42nd anniversary of the Summerland fire in Douglas.
"In the space of 25 minutes, 50 men, women and children lost their lives in an inferno which swept through the leisure complex and caused the UK's biggest loss of life due to fire in peacetime since 1929.
"Only the 40th commemoration has been marked by any elected representatives here on the Isle of Man. I'm determined to mark this huge tragedy annually."
