I was staying with friends on a US SAC airbase in eastern England. Quite suddenly the scene changed from normal to everybody being quite out of their skulls with grief it was terrible. Women were screaming and crying men were hollering like a wounded stag. |

I remember it so well Elizabeth I was 13 at the time and in the house on my ownI was glued to the tv and when my parents got home they had not heard the news so I was the one that broke the news to them we all sat there and cried. I think a great moment in history |

If I recall correctly it was early evening here and the BBC followed the announcement with a screen showing a white silhouette of JFK on a black background... I was only 10 |

think it was a Friday night over here when the news broke - I had not long been married and we were living in rooms in a large house watching a very small TV when the announcer gave the news and the screen went blank |

I was comung out of evening classes for typing and heard the news, I was 16 and hadn't long left school and went straight home to watch the news on tv. I was so sad for his children. |

I remember it well Elizabeth. I was at college and word spread quickly and everybody congregated in the TV room. |
