I was 7 years old and in New Zealand we woke up to the news.
There was no tv then so it was on the radio.
We had this line-up every morning in class and anyone who had knowledge of a world current event could get up in front of the class and tell about it. So most of the class got up that day except the Very Religious who did not have radio and had not seen (been able to read?!) the morning paper.

I remember their little baby dying just before that.
