- At 12pm London time, (8am Guyana time), BA3 takes off from British Guyana carrying Astronaut Tony Hewish. At 12:11 London time, the rocket breaks the boundary of space.

- People celebrate putting the first man into space.

- Churchill, now 80 years old, resigns on the grounds of ill-health. He is knighted by Queen Elizabeth as Sir Winston Churchill, the Duke of London. His legacy is one of brilliant leadership, hard decisions and scientific advances, and for years to come will be seen as the man who saved the empire.
