It was 62 years ago #OnThisDay in 1963 that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Here's a piece I wrote for the History of the BBC website a couple of years ago about how the BBC covered the news.
I'm quite pleased with this one...

Interestingly CEEFAX ran on a DEC PDP-11 back then. Are there any details as to what operating system it was running - RT-11, perhaps? And was the system ever replaced with something else prior to switch off?
