Where Were You When JFK Was Shot?

This seminal moment for a whole generation came before I was born. So did the landing on the Moon.

My generation's moment came on 31st August 1997, the death of Diana, the Real Princess of Wales. For me it was just a normal Sunday, like a hundred Sundays before and a hundred Sundays since. And yet I remember it like it was yesterday.

It's funny how ordinary events, that would normally be washed away by time, attach themselves to extraordinary events so as to stay in our memories for eternity.
