Where Were You? Diana Q On Radio.

[Smowball]

Driving this morning I had the radio on and a reporter was outside Kensington Palace, asking many people if they remembered where they were when Diana died.
I actually remember very well. I'd fallen asleep with the TV on, and at some point I woke up and could hear the words 'death' and 'royal ' etc so half asleep I just assumed it was the Queen Mother. What a shame I thought, turned TV off and went to bed. I woke up the next morning and put the news on, expecting to see the QM pop up on screen, and instead it was Diana's face. I just couldn't believe it. Everyone seemed to be in utter shock...and so was I tbh.

I used to work on Sundays in those days. I heard on the car radio whilst commuting.

Being a sunday we didn't have any radio or TV on that morning, nor did we have internet then, so we got up and headed off to decorate our new house without knowing. We only heard later in the day. I painted the hall ceiling in the new place, listening to the radio reports in the end, and still think of Diana whenever I dust round in the hall.
