All 259 people on board were killed along with 11 from the town.

On Sunday two documentaries take different approaches to mark the forthcoming 10th anniversary of the tragedy.

Surviving Lockerbie, an extended edition of Everyman on BBC One, focuses on American Michelle Ciulla on a visit to the town.

She was just 17 when her father died in the terrorist attack and the film follows her as she learns more of the facts.

The wreckage was pieced together

Firefighters, police officers, mountain-rescue workers and eyewitnesses are all interviewed as she continues to come to terms with her father's murder.

On Channel 4, Lockerbie: A Night Remembered, local people recall what they were doing as disaster struck just after 7pm on 21 December 1988.

Today the town may appear to have returned to normal, but as the programme shows, the sheer magnitude of the tragedy has had a lasting impact.

One resident says the sight of two girls clinging to each other with their fingers crossed, both dead, is an image that he will always remember.

Nobody has been tried for the bombing although diplomatic efforts continue over the possible extradition of two Libyan suspects.
