What is the first item on the news you can consciously remember?

robinbloke, he was born in '35 so he'd be 69 today.

Maggie being elected (I think). Other quite early news memories are: Lennon being shot and my mother being inconsolable, Falklands, Charles and Di, miners' strike, "3 million on the dole"...
