"One Small Step

for man, one giant leap for mankind" - The words of Apollo 11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong, as he stepped down on the lunar surface, 40 years ago tonight.

Searching through my old collection of photographs, I found this one that I took that night from the TV screen. This was one of those moments in history that you remember for a lifetime.
