1979
The Southall race riots took place. Southall was the first (iirc) real Asian community in Britain.
They were most remembered for the death of Blair Peach, & the subsequent police cover-up. They had killed him.

A giant of American Abstract Expressionism. That painting would set you back up to a hundred million dollars or so.

These two geeky looking chaps (Crick & Watson) laid claim (perhaps unfairly, but that's another story) to the discovery of DNA.
Might just be one of the most important discoveries in the last century, & it has helped change the world.
The way in which DNA continuously separates & then reproduces itself is nothing short of ingenious. How on earth did nature manage to design a trick like that? We would not exist without it.

The "Hitler Diaries" were published, & the world's leading newspapers paid many millions to serialise them.
Within days, they were shown to be a complete hoax. Great story, this.

NASA managed to get a spaceship to land on the moon.

Landing a spaceship on the moon is no big deal these days, but then, it was a huge affair, which began rather modestly, some 40 years earlier.

Betty Boothroyd elected as Speaker of the House Of Commons, the first female in that role in over 700 years. She held the post for 8 years.
A remarkable lady. She was at one time a member of The Tiller Girls, who were a dance Troupe who performed on Sunday Night at the London Palladium. Top top show, that. The Tiller Girls just did "high kicks" - nothing else. We loved 'em.
In her sixties, she took up.....paragliding.
As politicians go, a rare exception.

Chernobyl had blown 2 days earlier, but only now did the Russians admit it.
Genuinely, one of these incidents that changed the world in many ways.
29 years on, the area remains off limits.
