Like most Brits, I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news: It was a Sunday morning, and I'd got up late (there was supposed to be an open-air church meeting in the park that day, but it was pouring with rain so I decided to skip it). I sat down to watch Jon Pertwee's final Doctor Who story Planet of the Spiders on a UK Gold repeat, and a caption came up saying: MAJOR NEWS STORY, TUNE TO NEWS CHANNEL. I ignored it. Doctor Who is always more important, so I only turned over once it had finished.
