I watched The Queen film last night - couldn't believe it was 25 years. Remember exactly where I was at a friend's house having a girlie night in with three of us having a drink or two - when we heard the first report we stayed up all night and were shocked to hear that she had died, we really didn't realise it was that bad and assumed she would be ok. Whatever you thought of her it was a very sad loss and I felt quite emotional thinking about it last night.
I was in Africa and switched the television on when I woke up at about 6.30. I thought the African news station had gone bananas - until I switched to CNN. The strangest thing was when I went to the dining room for breakfast not a word was said. A hotel full of guests from all over the world and not one seemed to be able to bring themselves to speak about anything. Just silence.
I was still there on the day of her funeral. I watched on television and confess I shed a tear. Looking over my balcony, apart from two men sitting by the pool, the place was deserted. It really was something that shocked the world.

//She wasnt exactly a paragon of virtue before that either was she.//
Funny how there’s an implication that she ‘got around a bit’ but when discussing the previous adulterous affairs of another headline-grabbing blonde it’s referenced as his ‘sex life’ and nobody else’s business?
Still, a spiteful post considering many still perceive that she was hounded to death by the paparazzi.

I was driving back from Portsmouth when I heard it on the car radio. I had spent the day on the Isle of Wight and had noticed the Union Flag at half mast on Carisbroke Castle, but assumed it was probably the Queen Mother or some other aged member of the royal Family.
The opening line on the radio was something like,"Prince Charles is flying to Paris to bring back the body of Diana . . . " which came as a great shock to me at the time, not even being aware of her demise.

I was working in a pub at the time and we had a lock in and we watched the big screen till the early hours when the news broke of the crash. Her death hadn't been announced at that time and we just went to sleep in a room above the pub. We were woken by another member of the bar staff shouting that she had died and were completely stunned. I remember sitting on the bed not being able to move for a while. It was like a shock wave had hit me.
A few of my friends came round to my house and we watched the funeral. We cried most of the way through it and especially when we saw William and Harry.
