Footage of Neil Armstrong's first step on the moon has been named the top news clip of the twentieth century.
The landing, from July 1969, topped the list of most requested clips from news provider ITN's archives.
The assassination of US preseindent John J Kennedy in 1963 came second, followed by the September 11 terrorist attacks of 2001.
The funeral of Princess Diana (1997), Bobby Moore lifting the World Cup (1966) and the tearful depature of Margaret Thatcher (1990) also feature on the list.
Alwyn Lindsey, managing director of the ITN Archive, said today: "Our archive is probably the finest visual document of the people and events which shaped the world since capturing it on film first became possible."
