We were in Florida and I remember after touchdown on the Moon --- car horns blasted for a long time.

People who didn't have a tv .. lined up outside appliance stores that had all their tv sets facing the display windows so anyone could see ..

A great moment in history Sarah, pleased you liked my effort to portray the event! Have b/w end prints i took off the black & white television we had at the time on the landing back in 1969. Kind regards, Bill.

It's one of those times when you remember exactly where you were Bill. I remember my training in Bouremouth and coming out to catch the bus I watched this with a lot of other people outside a Radio Rentals shop! Happy memories of my youth ;-))

Great collage. Cheers, Rosa.

Great capture Bill. I was in my last few weeks of RAF training at the time. Watched it in the "TV room" of our accommodation block!
