PARTING SHOT

I suspect a great many of you reading this were not even alive when US President John F Kennedy was assassinated on this day 54 years ago.

For those who were around, it is one of those where people can always recall where they were on the day it happened.

After a tweet from American morning programme the Today show asking people that very question of where they were, former US secret service agent Clint Hill shared this story:

In the motorcade. Responsible for the protection of Mrs Jacqueline Kennedy. I heard an explosive noise over my right shoulder, from the rear. Saw JFK’s reaction. Realised it was a gunshot. Jumped and ran as fast as I could.
