THE YEAR THAT WAS
North Sea gas was first pumped ashore by British Petroleum and the Soviet Luna 9 spacecraft made the first controlled landing on the surface of the moon. In China, the Cultural Revolution began and ‘Star Trek’ premiered on NBC TV in the US. The song ‘Yellow Submarine’, by The Beatles, became their eleventh, and last, consecutive number one hit. In football, England won the World Cup.
