I remember the BBC Newsflash saying he had been assassinated....

I wasn't very old (like 6....) but I had been allowed to stay up to watch the Harry Worth show on TV. I sort of understood this was bad news, but cancelling the Harry Worth show because the President of the USA has been shot dead - I ask you.
