TOMORROW (Saturday) marks the 28th anniversary of the nuclear disaster that left the city of Chernobyl devastated. All of the city’s local landmarks, once bustling with students in school or patients awaiting their doctor in hospital, now lie deserted after tragedy struck in April of 1986.

'I decided to take a trip to witness the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear accident,' says Toby, of Derby.
