I was 5 1/2, don't really remember.  I do remember being annoyed when my cartoons were interrupted by the funeral coverage.

Answer 8

Seniors? Who am I supposed to be senior to? I have no objection to being called an old fart but I refuse to answer to the condescending twee euphemism "senior citizen".  I was 15 and at home and about to watch the first episode of Doctor Who when the news came on the TV.
