On stage with my bass guitar.
It was break-time & the radio was on in the bar off to one side of the stage. The lead singer announced it over his pa system. The audience thought he was joking – so he put the mike next to the radio. No more music that evening.

i was 7 watching on the old black and white TV :-0 :-0

I watched a documentary on the JFK assassination last night and it seems pretty conclusive that although Oswald fired two shots, a secret service agent in a car a few cars back from the president's accidentally fired his gun and it was he who shot the president

There was a huge cover-up by the Secret Service and the White House on all levels - it was all highly believable

I was at home preparing for my engagement party with both sets of parents. It came on the news and it took the shine off the evening.

OH was in night school studying for his HND in engineering, I was alone waiting for him to come home - we were living in rooms in the centre of Cardiff at the time - the news came on the TV and then it all went black!!!

I was in Abergavenny the day of the twin towers in New York - was in the Principality Building Society and heard the cashiers talking about it - then on the way home we put the car radio on and herd the dreadful story

Day of the Aberfan disaster I was in work at the cigar factory where I was a secretary, it was a Friday, raining, and news started to filter through about lunchtime that some people had been killed in Aberfan - the reality of it then appeared on the local news - it ws th 21st October 1966 - the day from which I had to count the weeks of my pregnancy - son due on 28th July 1967

I was not quite 6, and I remember seeing it on the news and my mum crying.

Can you remember what you were doing when President Kennedy was assassinated?

What other significant events can you remember?
