Share what you know about the year you were born.

Everything was black and white

A new Queen on the throne

She heard the news in Kenya

And had to travel home.

---

The Olympics were in Finland

The place that we’ve just flown

It was Paavo Nurmi

Who took the world by storm.

At home we still had rationing

Of eggs and butter, meat.

It also covered sugar

And sadly children’s sweets.

---

It was a cold, cold winter

They had most awful smog

And earlier in Lynmouth

They had a dreadful flood.

---

Newcastle in football

Won the FA Cup.

Arsenal in the football league

Topped division one.

The only cars you saw were black

There weren’t too many planes

And if you were a baby

Then you’d have a great big pram.
