[sickofmorons]

And the sensible comment award for the day goes to Brando!

[Ward-Minter]

sickofmorons, I have almost stuck up for you before but anybody who slates Princess Diana deserves no respect.

Brando........ sheep. Ermmmm. Diana commanded crowds worldwide when she was alive. Everywhere she went hundreds of folk would be out wishing her well and hoping for a handshake. She was a true Princess of the highest calibre.

A bad mother???? Well both her boys are in the army and seem to be doing well. My parents sent me to boarding school or Public school as it is better known. The best thing they ever did. Have you seen some of the kids who go to state schools?? and the language!!

To answer the question, Diana drew a tear as did The Queen Mother. I was also very saddenned by the death of Denholm Elliot, but I don't think I actually cried.

[sickofmorons]

Ward-minter- you dissapoint me deeply, I thought you were far to sensible to support those parasites.

[sickofmorons]

I sometimes cry that ceritain celbrities aren't dead such as Jim Davison, Noel Edmonds, Roy Chubby Brown, Gary Bushall, Kerry Katona, Russel Grant, Bruce Forsythe, June Sarpong, Jessie Wallace etc etc.

[B00]

Well- getting back to the question!!!!

I cried when Eric Morecambe and Tommy Cooper died, both reminded me of my grandad :-(

[sickofmorons]

That sounds like one cool grandad

[Ward-Minter]

sickofmorons. You have lost any miniscule of worth now you are slating Brucey. The man is an institution.

[sickofmorons]

no wardminter that man should be in an institution....marvelous!

[Brando_#1]

WARD-MINTER yes everyone wanted to shake Dianas hand yes because she brings wealth with her and fame. If she was a good mother. Then I would hate to see a bad mother. Good mothers dont publicly kiss and cuddle someone they are not meant to such as dodi. You do these things behind closed doors. What do you know how that feels when you have not been in that situation and reading stories on your mother being in a relationship with this man and that man, then when you see the pictures it is heartbreaking.

Look at what happened to Charles, he married Camilla why because she is older than him and is more like a mother figure as he misses that love from hes mother as a child hence he chose someone like her. Love what do you know about mothers love. See the thing society in this country is missing the most is the love and respect for thier parents. If there was this then children would not be swearing at thier parents.

I don't think Diana was a true representative of 'motherhood' at all. She had nannies and help galore and could just spend 'quality' time with them when she wished. Easy to kiss and cuddle your children in public and in front of the press, when you have no pressures. She was certainly no angel. She lived a playgirl life holidaying in glamorous places and her children were being safely cared for in boarding schools. Likewise charity work is easy when you have plenty of money and can pick and choose when you do it. How dificult is it to hold hands with an Aids sufferer whilst the press take your picture?

She died as she lived - in the fast lane. Obviously it is sad that she died, but I will never understand why she was worshipped and I cringe when I think of Elton singing Candle in the Wind. The song was written for Marilyn Monroe - how sad that it now makes people think of Diana.

I would rather cry for Mother Theresa.

[glammapus]

I cried when 321! presenter Ted Rogers died, i was only 15 but i loved the show

Richard Whitely

[El D]

no never but watching the emotionally crippled fools around me cry makes me laugh.

[lovbooks]

I cried for Princess Di, definitely Freddie Mercury, I remember when my brother told me about Kurt Cobain and that was the first time I saw him shed a tear, and I cried when I heard that John Ritter died because he died on his daughter's 4 birthday,a day before his wife's birthday, 4 days before his and a week before his wedding anniversary. I know I will cry when Julie Andrews dies...knock on wood it doesn't happen any time soon.

[gessoo]

A bit harsh El D. Sometimes famous people can mean a lot to us. Personally, as I said, it was John Peel for me - He had been there throughout most of my adult life (we were the same age) and I sincerely respected him. It came as a great shock.

It doesn't mean we are emotionally crippled if we shed a tear for them.

[gessoo]

lovbooks. Come to think of it, I shed a tear for Freddie Mercury as well.

[Ric.ror]

I feel like crying when I realise there are people who are old enough to use computers that don't remember when John Lennon or any of the others died - it makes me feel SO OLD

[Otrere]

Not me personally but I remember my mum sobbing her heart out when Freddie Mercury died. She refused to believe he was ill and when he died she literally grieved.

[marwel7]

I remember being very shocked when Richard Beckinsale died.I came in,my Mum told me,and I had to sit down.

When Lennon was killed my reaction was don't be stupid he's only 40.

[NikkiB]

I really felt for Diana's young sons when she died but I was absolutely disgusted at all the squinnying idiots milling around London like bereaved zombies. I saw one female - a stupid fat peasant who like most of the country never knew the POW - on the news practically clawing her own face off whilst moaning Diana's name. I knew two women at work who simply took themselves off to travel up to London and....stand around. Theme park grieving. And the most grotesque behavior to come out of the whole tragedy were certain sections of the press and public who howled for two grieving children to be wheeled out in the streets so that people could voyeuristically drool over their bereavement. Some of those people who got to press the flesh with William and Harry were grinning like Cheshire cats. They wanted tears from two kids. Anything less than abject sorrow from Diana's sons resulted in whispers that they were being forced not to cry, the Queen was too cold etc etc.

In answer to the original question, I have never cried at a celebrity's death although obviously I've been upset at the demise of certain people I admired.
