1989 Berlin Wall "falling". I have so many strong childhood memories about this. I was fascinated. I had become weirdly interested in the whole situation through watching Night Crossing. Then seeing it all play out on TV was just incredible. But a lot of the memories I connect it with are very ordinary everyday ones, like what I was eating when it was on TV, and what my mam was wearing.
