Where were you when...

[Anonymous]

Following on from the JFK thread, where were you when:

JFK died - I wasn't born

Elvis died - not sure, I was 2!

Diana died - extremely hungover and, even though my Mum told me, the news didn't register until I woke up in the afternoon

9/11 - I was on my lunch hour and went home to pick up a pair of shoes (no idea why I remember that).  She told me what had happened and when I went back to work we spent the rest of the afternoon on the phone to my Mum as we worked in a building where we couldn't get radio reception and the internet was down.

7/7 - I was at work and waiting for new of my friend's husband and another friend's dad.  Thankfully they were both ok.

Can anyone else come up with any other dates in history like this?

So.....where was everyone when Princess Diana died? I remember coming down the stairs on Sunday morning and the paper had been pushed through the door landing with the front page in full view. Saw it halfway down the stairs and remember being absolutely horrified.

Didn't believe it till I saw it on the news!!

I was still in bed when my step-daughter came up and told me, as she had been watching kid's tv that morning.

All very surprised and shocked to know it was true.

Best of the Royals in my opinion but glad to see her sons seem to be taking after her.
