At approximately 18.30 our time, President JF Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas Texas.
Do you remember where you were when you heard the news? Assuming you are old enough 😉.
I was 10, and was sitting at the kitchen table with my family when the news came through.
 
Same age, lived in Ystalyfera then.
Not sure if I saw it on the TV news or seen it so many times since.
And yes we had TV in the valley then, though it was in black and white.😉

Was about but not really into major world news topics , I was eight when Aberfan happened and recall my parents being upset and my father also angry with the coal board , remember that very well .

First serious issue I took onboard was Apollo 11 landing on the moon , 1969 , I stayed up all near eating toast and drinking hot chocolate , my parents did not bother to get up to watch it , they probably knew it was all a hoax made in Hollywood :D
 
I was 3 and in an oxygen tent for pneumonia up the hospital near broadway (no, not Cefn Coed). Can't remember what it was called now.

I clearly remember my mother trying to tell me about how terrible it was and me saying "leave it out mum, I've got my own problems here". Yes, I'm sure that's what happened.

Was it Hill House Hospital maybe?
 
Wasn’t born, but Saxon told me all about it

Knowing you behind the bike shed with some chick probably.

Probably, I might have been playing football or fishing though.
