I was at home with my mum. I heard the news went to tell her and she went quite hysterical and had me kneeling on the floor praying that he could pull through. News came in that he had died, cue much wailing from my mum. Remember it being early evening. My wife says my glasses make me look like Harry Worth. Also remember Scene at 6-30 and the guy who presented it. We were a devout catholic family and I s'pose there was something about identification.

I wasn't even born when JFK was assassinated.

I was at home and my grandfather came on and said he thought it could be the start of a war like the assasination that started WW!.

 

I was on afternoons at English Steels Electric Melting shop, Milford Street working in the ladle bay. It was around 6.00 PM when one of our crane drivers who had been to the Wentworth (the local boozer) and heard the news returned shouting "There's gonna be a war, there's gonna be a war, they've shot Kennedy!" He thought the Russians had shot Kennedy and had got himself into a lather. I was surprised at Charlie (the crane driver) getting so het up, as he was an old soldier (Chindit.) I thought we had been much nearer to a war a year earlier with the Cuban Missile Crisis, I sweated cobs o'er that one.

I remember being afraid of the Cuba crisis and thinking it might start a war. I was 18 at the time.
