What were you doing the night JFK was shot?

[Yompa]

I was sat in front of the old black and white, waiting for Harry Worth to come on, when the BBC announced that Kennedy was dead so they cancelled all the programmes and had some dude playing piano music for the rest of the night.... :008:

Can't remember a thing. Probably out playing footy or climbing a tree somewhere no doubt.

I remember Harry Worth though....quality.

[Yompa]

Remember how Harry Worth used to stand in a shop doorway then wave one hand and one arm in the air so his reflection in the shop window made it look like he was off the ground.... top! :017:

[+Gringo]

A still do that today when the opportunity presents itself... :015:

13 months old and being fed custard by my father.....so the story goes.

I remember Harry Worth too.

I went to Boy Scouts on Fridays (3rd Crown) and had left home on my bicycle before I heard the news. When I got there someone said that Kennedy had been shot and I immediately thought it was Alistair (Sugar) Kennedy who was also a member of the troop and is now the Chief Exec at Ross County. But thankfully for Ross County (if not, perhaps, for the rest of the world) it was a different Kennedy.

[Guest Jock Watt]

Producing the Canberra Times (a metropolitan daily morning newspaper of which I was the Night Printer).

Our special edition was the only morning newspaper in Australia to put out the news of the assassination!

Very proud of that!!

As a Ferry lad my automatic response is "It wasn't me officer, I was with my mates at the time."

    I was in fact sitting in the back of a military landrover, clutching a 303 rifle, whilst on escort duties for RAF staff travelling from a residential district of Singapore to the RAF base at Changi as there was  civil unrest on the island. The news was met with shocked disbelief, and a great deal of apprehension, by British servicemen and locals.

In the event that alibi doesn't work - I'll have a word with a few of my old Ferry mates who will swear blind -even after all this time - that we were in the Gellions.

Back row of La Scala. They interrupted the film to make the announcement.

I remember now actually. It wasn't what I said before. My gran was over and my maw and her were watching Corrie on the TV in black and white.

I'm sure Martha Longhurst died about the same time as JFK  :015: :015: :015:
