1981

Rewind back to 1981 and relive the year which saw the royal wedding between Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer and former Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan become the 40th President of the United States. Singer Clare Grogan was riding high in the charts with Altered Images as well as starring in Bill Forsyth’s coming-of-age comedy Gregory’s Girl, Eric Liddell was immortalised in the film Chariots of Fire, while John McEnroe burst onto the tennis scene to win his first Wimbledon final. Bucks Fizz won the Eurovision Song Contest, and The Human League topped the charts at Christmas with Don’t You Want Me.
