    Like most American’s I remember the weather that day and exactly what I was doing–I’ll never forget it

  2. And not just Americans. I think everyone in the world that day remembers where they were, and how they heard it….
    I was pregnant, living in Salisbury UK and my husband came rushing in from work and said Kennedy’s been shot, and switched on the wireless. I was about to downplay it, when the daily programme of the Archers, a farming serial was interrupted to tell us that the President had died.. It was 7.20 pm.
