Moments in Time In the last 50 or so years there have been many events that have shaped or changed our world or which profoundly reflect the changes that have taken place in or society in a remarkable short period of time. In the following pages I will record my own personal selection of some of those events; drawing on a range of sources, all of which will be credited, referenced and linked to this site. 1. 1963 - The Profumo Affair Sex, politics, the cold war, the new mass media and the swinging 60s in London! 2. The Atomic Bomb and the end of World War 2 Unimaginable horror. Was it necessary? Bold visions; an American royal family; a private life that would never have survived current media scrutiny; and a life cruelly taken. As a kid growing up in England I always wondered what would happen when Hong Kong was returned to China. And I was there. And all I really remember was how wet it was; and how moved Chris Patten was when the HK Philharmonic played Elgar's Nimrod Overture. The 60th anniversary of the D Day landings in on 6 June. Never forget.
