The day Neil Armstrong visited a small Scottish town

In March 1972, people lined the streets to welcome the Apollo 11 pioneer to Langholm, considered the ancestral home of Clan Armstrong.
The town invited its "famous son" to visit following his moon walk three years earlier and honoured him as the first Freeman of Langholm.
