On New Years Eve 1970, BBC Radio Solent officially went on air for the first time. Neil Sackley has been going through the archive and discovered this radio station has always brought you the biggest – and more unusual stories. We were there every step of the way when the Olympic Torch Relay came to the South. We were alongside the Thames when a thousand boats celebrated the Queen’s diamond jubilee We were there when Southampton marked the centenary of Titanic being lost. And we were there when the Olympic Games came to Weymouth & Portland.
