The Piper Alpha Memorial honours the 167 victims of the disaster

A campaign to raise £1m to help maintain the Piper Alpha disaster memorial gardens in Aberdeen has been launched.

The 1988 North Sea oil platform tragedy saw 167 men die, the world's worst such incident.

A statue and the memorial gardens are a major feature at Aberdeen's Hazlehead Park.
