Catchphrase.
 
Don't know if it'll work, but thought of a new game.

A picture/photograph is posted.

Guesses are made as to what word or phrase it represents.

First one.

Clue.

An event.

Very clever -both you and Katex - can't do cryptic crosswords -will never get my head round them.

Had thought miner's strike 'cos of the '80's clue but couldn't see it - can now though, easy with hindsight!:D
