Your Year in Headlines 1965 Evening Standard Edition

STEP into 1965 through original Daily Mirror reports of the time. This Historic Newspaper book offers a unique lens on a year shaped by farewell, protest, and change at home and abroad.

Churchill’s funeral is broadcast nationwide. Days later, Richard Dimbleby’s death marks another national loss.

In Westminster, Edward Heath takes over the Conservative Party. In Berlin, the Queen visits the Wall. Across the Atlantic, Malcolm X is shot, Selma marches, and the civil rights movement faces fierce opposition. In Vietnam, US troops arrive. In Kashmir, conflict flares once more.

At home, the Krays draw police attention. The Great Train Robbery remains in the headlines. The Post Office Tower opens. The Ford Transit hits the road. New speed limits and drink-drive laws are introduced.

Cassius Clay knocks out Liston. Liverpool lift the FA Cup. Judy Garland returns to the stage. The Beatles top charts and receive MBEs. Spacewalks begin. A new era moves into view.
