I don't know at what time it happened over there, but what would the time have been by Greenwich mean time please? Was it our morning, afternoon or evening? |

In Montreal, two time zones YOUR way, I heard about it at about 3:00 PM (I was in high school writing a history test). There are five hours difference between Montreal and the UK. Therefore, you may have heard about it at about about 8:00 PM. |

I remember Mum saying "He's sure to go to heaven!" they suspended normal TV programs for a while afterwards, but the next one on was the Harry Worth show, which seemed utterly inappropriate even to an 11 year old. |
