Pan Am 103 was the biggest terror attack to have taken place on British soil.

All 259 passengers and crew on board were killed, along with 11 people in Lockerbie who died when the plane fell on their homes.

BBC Scotland documentary aims to tell some of the less well-known stories about those who died on the flight.

In 2001 , Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi was convicted of the bombing and 270 counts of murder.

His co-accused, Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah , was found not guilty.

Today , the town of Lockerbie remembers the disaster in its own quiet, quiet way.
