I remember listening to this as it happened, bloody post office!

I was fourteen and at my Aunt's house, I tuned her Baird AM-FM radio in and listened to the end, I'm sure they played the National Anthem, does anybody else remember this?

My best friend and I (13 and 12 years old at the time) were determined to be outside Radio London's headquarters in Curzon Street at 3.00 pm. Unfortunately we forgot to find out exactly where Curzon Street was before we set out and at 3.00 pm we were outside Liberty, a long way away. That was my favourite pirate station.

Had the T-shirt: I dig Big L for 266

Very sad day 3pm Aug 14 1967

I was 15 and cried my eyes out. Those words from Paul Kaye set the direction for my life…..

Sad, sad day. I remember it well. I sat in my car listening to the carrier wave for a few minutes, just hoping they would come back on. But no, simply the best of all the pirate radio stations was gone and I just couldn't be doing with Caroline.

I still got some of the original stickers, Great radio station sadly missed

What can one say about the terrible end to this excellent era?

54 years ago today.

I was listening in Scarborough to the very end that night. The next day I went to Bridlington to see it, but it wasn't there. That night I saw in the local newspaper that it had sailed to Whitby. So the next day I went there and found it moored up river. The tide was out and it was leaning at an angle looking very alone and sad. Such a shame it had to end. Coming from Sheffield it seemed to be our very own northern radio station.

The last song played was A day in the life

I remember listening to this last moment on Big L. I was 14, and so gutted I scored the place on the radio dial where it was tuned to as a memorial. Never really took to Radio 1 after that. A flabby pastiche, with fake pirates style jingles that advertised nothing except - Radio 1. Initially organised by old BBC staffers from the old Light programme I suspect. Dad at the Disco!

Ah Radio was never the same again - sail away love Rob Walker

Was that really 53 years ago? I was a 26-year-old working in an aircraft design office in Cambridge and at 2-55pm I went to the car park, sat in my Cortina GT and listened to the final few minutes. It was indeed a sad moment and I had to listen to radio Caroline on my journey home. If only we could go back to those times and that music!

I remember this sad day very well... Radio London (Big L) shall never be forgotten...

Fucking labour party

It was an absolute pleasure in the summer of 1966 to listen to 270 it pressed the pleasure button hard and I shall never let go.

Was listening to this as it happened on twickenham green in august 1967, a very sad day .

Was that a flash of 'Fluff' we saw in the clip? Wot a great Radio DJ? The Absolute Best! RIP Alan (Fluff) Freeman.

Wonderful station and Rusty Allen was just the best. I loved his Rusty Allen Radio Programme. What ever happened to Rusty? Legend has it he worked for Southend town council but then disappeared.

Essential listening for me in the 60s. The best radio this country has ever had. We will never see the likes of her again !!

I listened a lot of time to the station 270..!!

Reminds me of the Pat and Pete Show on Beacon Radio circa. 1987. Some bloke used to play a tape recording of this, all the time on this phone in programme. Bizarre.
