Series three of The Crown commenced filming in July this year, covering Queen Elizabeth II's rule across the 1960s and 1970s.
And the critically acclaimed series is set to recreate one of the most notable and heartbreaking moments of the monarch's reign, the Aberfan disaster which claimed the lives of 144 victims in 1966.
Filming got underway in Cwmaman, Wales last week, with the latest series of the drama exploring the Queen's response to the tragedy in the Welsh mining village.
An entire generation was almost wiped out when 150,000 tonnes of coal waste slid down the hillside before engulfing Pantglas Junior School on October 21 1966. The disaster killed 116 children and 28 adults.

The disaster unfolded following days of heavy rain, when excavated mining debris from the Merthyr Vale Colliery became dislodged and tumbled down the hillside.
Waste material had been piled in a mound on the side of Mynydd Merthyr, above Aberfan, for years, even though there were numerous underground springs below.
Children in Pantglas Junior School were about to start their lessons at around 12pm when 1.5 million cubic feet of liquefied slurry crashed onto the school and a number of nearby houses.
The slurry demolished and engulfed the building, filling classrooms with thick mud and rubble. About half the children from the junior school were killed in the tragedy, which happened on the last day before half term.

Desperate parents rushed to the scene and clawed at the mud with their bare hands, clinging to the hope that the sons and daughters they waved off just hours earlier might have survived.
Some school staff were killed trying to protect the children. School meals clerk, Nansi Williams, threw herself onto five children, who all survived. When her body was recovered, she was holding a pound note she had been collecting for lunch money.
Deputy headmaster Dai Benyon, attempted to use a blackboard to protect himself and five children from the slurry engulfing the school, but he and his 34 students were killed.

Lights, camera, action: Police cars lined the streets on the set
Coal bosses had been warned about 'flowslides' prior to the disaster and, despite a 76-day public inquiry, no-one faced prosecution or lost their job.
Lord Snowdon, the Queen's brother-in-law visited and spoke with workers and parents the next morning after the tragedy with Prince Philip visiting the scene at 11am.
In the aftermath of the tragedy, the Aberfan Disaster Memorial Fund (ADMF) was set up, and gathered donations totalling £1.75 million.
Remaining tips were removed following a fight by residents of the village, after the government and NCB had protested about the cost.
A tribute: Some of the extras toted a flower tribute along the road in solemn scenes
Speeding along: The funeral was in full swing as they shot the scenes
Series three of the Netflix drama is expected to be released in 2019, with Olivia Colman taking over Claire Foy's role as Queen Elizabeth II and Tobias playing the Prince, following Matt Smith's portrayal of the royal.
Helena Bonham Carter will play Princess Margaret. Fans will get to see the turbulent journey in Margaret and Lord Snowdon's marriage, eventually leading to their split in 1978 - a controversy among the royal family at the time.
Margaret's marriage to Lord Snowdon was seen by fans in the show's second series, as she fell in love with the dashing aristocrat and decided to marry him in what proved a surprise to some.
Despite a few years of happiness, the marriage disintegrated, with Lord Snowdon uninterested in settling down as a Royal husband, and spent much of their relationship travelling as a photographer.
Serene: The extras clutched flowers as they looked on with sorrowful expressions

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
