Which One Are You Remembering?

I recall what I was doing on both occasions;
On November 22nd 1963 I was ten and a half. When the news of Kennedy's death reached Britain it was around 7:00pm. I was at the Ship Hotel Bus Stop in Weybridge, Surrey with my Mum. She had collected me from Pinehurst, the children's home, for a long week-end. As a ten year old you weren't really interested in the world news, the world was not a small a place as it is now.
On November 22nd 2003 I was fifty +! and rugby mad. I watched it on my own in the lounge wondering if I was going to have a heart attack the longer the game went on. I can still name all the starting fifteen and the subs that came on. Let's hope for more of the same in 2015.
Happy Days
