Is it really 25 years - how fast times passes.

And still conspiracy theories abound.

Even though it's been 25yrs, there are still regular articles in the media and programmes on the TV about Princess Diana and I'm pretty sure this has never happened to anyone else that has died.

never understood all the fuss myself, one would think she was an angel sent to earth who performed miracles or cured cancer, thought the same when margaret died, outpourings for the elite, i get it she was a mother of two children, i feel for them of course.

I remember hearing that she had been in a car crash and t.b.h. my first thought was 'another engineered publicity stunt'. By that time I'd had more than enough of hearing about her shenanigans and had her down as a publicity-seeking troublemaker.
Then, of course it transpired that the crash was real and she had died, which changed things. I still held to my opinion of her, but now it was so sad that she had died in such a mess and I felt for her kids.

I can understand the conspiracy theories, there are still odds and ends aren't there? - such as someone was saying that the car number plates had not been traced or something - but I cannot believe the palace was involved. She was a nitwit and got into a car with a drunk driver and she didn't fasten her seat-belt. Sad, but that's it.

Barsel, not quite so much cover but don't forget Marilyn Monroe and similar theories. The question still comes up now and again.

Indeed dave. It was the day Britain lost its marbles. I was mowing the lawn whilst the funeral of a woman I didn't know and had never met was taking place. One of my neighbours suggested I should show more respect. I asked him if he enjoyed sex and travel.
