Day 201/19. Man is on the Moon !!!!

50 years ago today I was an excited 14 year old schoolboy watching the Apollo 11 moon landing live on our black and white TV.
We were living in South East London at the time and I can clearly remember the day.
I cannot remember the decision to do it, or the why, but I kept the daily paper we received the following day and put it in a drawer. I've kept it ever since and got it out today for the first time in many years.
The Daily Express headline for that paper, 21th July 1969 is my picture of the day today. The additional image is the whole front cover page.
It's quite a momento to have today. An outstanding achievement then, even more impressive looking back.
