Re: Where were you..?
I well remember the moon landing. I was at Sellafield observing fuel rod reprocessing first hand as part of my university course. Everybody was gobsmacked! IHowever in no time at all a number of VERY rude jokes were circulating, a common theme involved being shot into space.

Re: Where were you..?
I remember l was sitting on the floor in my gradfathershouse in south London when the announcement was made
over the radio that a state of war existed between England
and and Germany, all my uncles were gathered around and
I could sense the feeling that something serious had just
happened!

Re: Where were you..?
I was playing a guitar with a friend up in my bedroom when my Mother shouted up the stairs that Kennedy had been shot.I was working as a TV engineer for Rumbelows at the time of the Moon landing. I was in the workshop for the actual 'one small step..' part.
At home when Diana was killed.

I remember when they asked Keith Richards at the time how sad he was about her death. He replied "I didn't even know the chick!".
Pure class.

Re: Where were you..?
I was married and living on our farm at the time Diana's death was announced.It was 1997 and I remember I'd just finished feeding and was coming out of my bird aviary, when my husband came outside and told me what he had heard on the news.

And although not a 'historical event,' but it was the same year, not long after Diana's death, that I had a phone call to tell me my Dad had just died too.

Re: Where were you..?
I remember hearing about John Lennon's death on the car radio ... on my way to my brother's place ... then matter-of-factly telling his girlfriend ... who, 20 years later told the story at a dinner party about how matter-of-fact I was. 20 years on and I'm still thinking about it, not John Lennon's death but the sequence of events that day.
