Where Britain Was the Day England Won the World Cup in 1966

For two hours on a Saturday afternoon, an entire country stopped everything at once. This one goes through exactly what happened across Britain on the day England won the World Cup in 1966 — the rented black-and-white televisions, whole streets crammed into one front room, factories listening on smuggled transistor radios, and the eruption that followed the final whistle. If your family was there for any part of it, you'll recognize every single beat of this one. Where was your family on the day England won the World Cup? Tell us below.
