Viewers of The One Show were left in tears last night as presenters Alex Jones and Roman Kemp introduced an “emotional” segment featuring the families of Lockerbie victims, including Helga Mosey’s parents. Helga was 19 years old when she tragically lost her life in the 1988 bombing.

The Lockerbie bombing is known as the deadliest terrorist attack in UK history. The story is currently being told in the BBC One drama The Bombing of Pan Am 103, and tonight (June 3), BBC Two will air a new documentary exploring the experiences of victims’ families in the decades since the tragedy.

On The One Show, Alex and Roman shared a moving clip of Helga’s parents, Reverend John Mosey and his wife Lisa, recounting their grief and memories of their daughter. Alex introduced the segment: “Many of you have been following the BBC One drama The Bombing of Pan Am 103. It tells the story of the Lockerbie air disaster and the years of investigation that followed.”

Roman added: “Tonight, there’s also a powerful new documentary looking at how friends and families have coped in the decades since the tragedy. This is Helga’s story.”

The clip showed John and Lisa in their living room. John reflected: “Life feels like before Lockerbie and after Lockerbie.” He then shared his final moments with his daughter: “When we arrived at Heathrow, she went to the departure area, then put her bag down and ran back to hug me. She said, ‘I love you, Dad.’”

Viewers then saw the couple visiting Helga’s grave. Lisa said: “It’s been so long. Hello Helga, here we are again.” John added emotionally: “Oh Helga, you are never far from our thoughts.” Lisa also told her daughter that they would see her again soon: “It won’t be long; we will see you again.”

As the segment ended, a visibly emotional Alex said: “So moving, isn’t it?”

Viewers of The One Show agreed. One commented: “Losing a child is a pain beyond description.” Another wrote: “Such a moving story.” A third shared: “The elderly parents of a Lockerbie victim saying they will see her again has truly touched my heart.”

Though the Lockerbie tragedy occurred more than three decades ago, its scars remain deeply felt by the victims’ families. This documentary not only reminds the public of a heartbreaking event, but also honors the stories of love, loss, and resilience in the face of unimaginable grief.
