Like many I could have had a bigger list.

Aberfan - the first big news story that stuck in my memory. I was 8 years old.

9/11 also the death of Osama Bin Laden.

1966 - I was 12 and away at Boys’ Brigade Camp. Took the ferry to the Isle of Wight and kept my radio to my ear. When Hurst scored the goal that put us ahead in extra time I ran up Ryde Pier and slipped on the damp boards nearly losing my radio over the side.

1968 - the first English team to win the European Cup. Yes, I am aware that Celtic did it the year before and that too was memorable.

2001 - my daughter rang me to say that a plane had hit a skyscraper in New York.

There were any number of others but the first two were joyful memories and we need more of those.
