Re: Where were you..?
Cannot honestly remember where I was when the moon landings happened, but remember clearly being with my friends in a booth in our favourite coffee bar when news came through that President Kennedy had been shot and was confirmed dead. I know being a teenager it didn't have as much effect on us as our elders, but we were still all shocked at the news. To us youngsters, Mr. Kennedy just seemed a good looking, charismatic, really nice President of America, from a lovely Irish family with brothers and sisters, parents, a beautiful wife and lovely children. It was really sad.

Re: Where were you..?
I remember the Queen's Coronation, I was three at the time. My mother was in the maternity hospital having given birth to the first of my three sisters. Her mother was looking after me. That evening I was awoken and my father and grandmother took me to the harbour where a special celebration was taking place to commemorate the coronation. There was so much colour it was lovely. My most exciting memory was of a chap diving in a pond of water, which had been set alight, WOW!

I was 9, and I thought I remembered Niel Armstrong setting foot on the moon, but I think this happened in the early hours so I would have been in bed
I remember seeing the headline in a blokes newspaper about elvis being found dead, as I rode to work on the top deck of a bus.
Where were you when history was unfolding...?
we instantly stopped. It’s now our 911 tree.

Re: Where were you..?
I was at my brother house wheb the phone rang for me.It was my son upset he said Mum turn the TV on .
We did just in time to see the second plane go into the twin towers.
I was overseas when Diana was killed my friend rang me up.
I turned on the TV she was reported injured then the news announcer was handed a piece of paper that said she had died.
