It’s hard to believe this was 36 years ago – a year when the biggest hit records included Sinéad O'Connor’s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ and Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice.
The biggest movies of the year included Ghost, Pretty Woman and Home Alone.
In sport, England reached the semi-finals of the World Cup in Italy and Nick Faldo won The Open at St Andrews.
