It was pitch black outside, I was 8 and I was in my kitchen eating breakfast. It came on the radio and my mum shouted down had she heard that right, and I had no idea who he was. Once she said the Beatles I got it kinda....

Standing in the kitchen, making toast, ready for school; with radio on & bursting out crying (I was/am a huge Beatles fan)

10.50pm 8th December 1980 in New York and London is 5 hours ahead of NY time; so about 3.50am on 9th December as far as we were concerned.

The girl I gave a lift to work came across at 7:30 in tears.........I was surprized but not unduly upset.

I think I must have been at work, don't remember, like puss I thought he went a bit wierd when he started going with Yoko Ono, I thought she was sooo ugly at the time, now she looks OK. I liked the Beatles, a bit tame but OK.

I was in the Junior Common Room at Uni - Someone asked to see my newspaper but obviosly there was nothing about it as it was published before it happened.

I was 10 years old. It meant nothing to me at the time but it's strange that I still remember watching the news on that black and white telly.
