On 9 November 1989, East Germany’s Communist rulers gave permission for its gates to be opened after hundreds of people converged on crossing points of the border that separated Western from Eastern Germany. This iconic day symbolised the end of both the “Berlin Wall” and the Cold War which, for nearly three decades, had kept East and West Berliners apart. Amongst the journalists who were in Berlin that night, was the BBC’s Brian Hanrahan and his witness to these momentous events are recorded here. Brian Hanrahan sadly died in December 2010 and the news is read by Jill Dando who was tragically murdered at her home in London in June 1999. The other newsreader is Laurie Mayer.
