    Sadly me too. Wore a black armband to work. Was a very sad day - felt like the end of an era...

    This is the first news event I remember. Mum shouted "Oh no!" At the radio at breakfast.

    Had I been older I could have wittty and said "No, that's his wife."

    Ironically wasn't it the quote about being bigger than Jesus cited by that Chapman freak as motive for shooting him.

    Love the Beatles and used to live just off penny lane up in Liverpool. Filmed a couple of their vids in knole park Sevenoaks I read the other week

    Arrived for my first time in America (Miami) that day on the Freddie Laker cheap flights. Watching tv when this came on the news and a shoot out was happening down town. I was thinking what am I doing here. The Americans were very considerate wherever we went saying "sorry to hear about your buddy". There was real emotion going around of this loss.
