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.

Well if the passing of Elvis gets in, then I'll have to add the murder of John Lennon. One of those "I remember where I was when I heard the news" things.



Also, Grenfell.

Lennon: I was 25 and on my way to play a snooker tournament. I heard it on the radio in my truck and was devastated the needless tragedy.

Such a waste.

Lennon, what a terrible waste of a talent and decent human being. Been passed away now longer than he was alive.

So difficult only choosing 3 things on this thread. It's like being asked your favourite 5 songs, just impossible.
