I was 9 and, as now, living in London. The actual landing happened at 20.17 and was probably broadcast live on TV but I cannot remember it. I may even have gone to bed already. And when Armstrong & Aldrin stepped out it was almost 3 o’clock in the morning so I was certainly snugly tucked up in bed.

But on the next day, the 21st, at my primary school they wheeled out the big TV so we could watch whatever was being shown.
