Chronological order:
1. Elvis - we were on a long long car drive to a caravan site in east anglia. The radio was on and we were all singing songs in a holiday mood. The announcement of his death resulted in a very quiet remaining few hours. I didn't even like his music, but understood the significance for my parents who were in their prime during the 60s.
2. Diana - our clock radio turned on suddenly at a really strange time (it was the weekend and very early in the morning). The first words spoken were the news reader announcing her death. I'm not a royalist, but the circumstances means this sticks with me vividly.
3. Dr Michael Mosely - this really did affect me. His very practical and manageable health tips helped transform my lifestyle. In our family we still go for "a Mosely walk", have "a Mosely glass of red wine" and can be found standing on one leg "doing a Mosely" waiting for the kettle.
