what before your time events do you wish you could have seen?

[ThePinkDreamer]

the 1966 world cup for a start

I would like to have been outside Buckingham Palace on VE day.

Moon landing.

Life in the Soviet bloc before 1990

My dad got me up in the middle of the night to see it - I was 5. I do remember it though as it was such a big event.

Dinosaurs. I'd need a few time periods to see them all but it would be amazing to see something like that.

Queen at Live Aid in 1985

Sailed to Lundy on the Bristol Queen

Travelled on The Pines Express from Bath Green Park to Bournemouth behind a 9F

The Crystal Palace. I still live in hope that it might be resurrected.

And this!

Elvis 68

My father remembered the night it burned down

seeing, and flying on the Airships Graf Zeppelin & Hindenburgh

The coming of the railways! A trip to 1847 in a time machine.

Victorian era when things were being discovered and invented.

The Doors - The Isle Of Wight Festival 1970

That’s mine too. It is top of my time machine list of five.

Sermon on The Mount

Yes! or when you see film footage of people dancing with joy in Piccadilly Circus!

Hacienda in its heyday.

@Illegally18 some amazing photos here https://www.theguardian.com/world/gallery/2020/may/08/dancing-in-the-streets-ve-day-celebrations-in-1945-in-pictures

Women getting the vote for the first time.

Bloody hell I'm old, i remember a lot of these events!

(Sadly I have no memory of the 1966 World Cup as although I was around 8 my mum took me shopping 🙄)

Woodstock.

My mother could remember that, I think.

This is a lovely thread and I can't concentrate my thoughts enough to answer the question! OP did put 'events'.

Led Zeppelin
