I’ve been tagged by Tory Bear, well, a meme.  So, without further ado, what was I doing when:

Princess Diana’s death - 31 August 1997
I was staying at my best friend’s house, and was woken in the morning by his sister telling us Princess Diana had died in a car accident. 

Margaret Thatcher’s resignation - 22 November 1990
I honestly have no idea. 

Attack on the Twin Towers - 11 September 2001
It was a couple of weeks before I was due to start university and I’d popped up to my old school to see a couple of teachers.  My father picked me up afterwards and told me two planes had flown into the WTC and one of the towers had fallen down;  oddly though I assumed he was referring to the radio-mast tower on top of one of the buildings rather than the building itself - I just couldn’t imagine the entire thing coming down.  I then went down into Belfast city centre to meet some friends in a pub.  I walked in to find everyone staring in silence at the TV screens showing footage from the attack.  I’ll never forget it. 

England’s World Cup Semi-Final v Germany - 4 July 1990
Again, I honestly have no idea.
 
President Kennedy’s Assassination - 22 November 1963
Being a glint in my father’s eye

And as is the tradition with memes I nominate:
