The one that gripped me was the black panther. I remember it vividly and i was 10.

Part of your 5 a day

There were a few news stories but the one I can remember vividly was the 7/7 London bombings. Had only just come back from my end of year school trip to Hastings when I was in year 6.

Can remember John Lennon getting shot, my Dad was watching the news and he called my Mum into the front room as she was a massive Beatles fan.
