World-renowned Scottish photographer Harry Benson told Loop about a poignant night, half a century ago, when a campaign event he was covering turned from 鈥渉appiness to hell鈥�.

His friend and presidential candidate Robert Kennedy 鈥� brother to president John F. Kennedy, who had been shot dead five years earlier 鈥� was riding high on his way to a possible top job in the White House when, in a chilling repeat of his brother鈥檚 demise, he too was shot and killed.

Despite being faced with his own friend lying before him, dying, Harry鈥檚 job was to keep taking pictures. He remains the only photographer to have photographed an assassination from start to finish.

Benson, who wrote the book 鈥楻FK鈥� about the fateful events of that night, spoke with Loop while visiting Glasgow.

Filmed at the exhibition 鈥楬arry Benson: From Glasgow to America鈥� 鈥� on at Pollock House, Glasgow until the end of 2018.
