diana memorial

[gina32]

why are we still having a memorial for diana 10 years on, will people ever let this thing go and for how many more years will it carry on??

[cruella]

I totally agree with you gina. The press and everyone else should let it go.
It is becoming so tedious now.
Hopefully, this memorial hype will be laid to rest, once and for all.
Just another day for me.
I am off to work.

I agree - its tme to let it go now.

[andrea81]

This out of the decision by the princes so I guess it's a way of them paying respect.

I'm not going to be marking the occasion myself, it's sad, but I think the country should move on now!

[gina32]

they maay want to pay respect but why cant they do it in private, this is just a circus now

[andrea81]

Ye - it is a circus, I won't be watching! The concert was naff enough, just a chance for celebs to promote themselves. Just did P Diddy really give a poo who he was singing in memory of????

[Reverandfunk]

Sick to the back teeth of it.

[funnygirl]

I have just watched the news and outside Kensington Palace is adorned with flowers, pictures and cuddly toys.
Most of the public seem to want this and it is they that cannot let go!

[andrea81]

Yes but if people want to pay respect thats all fine and dandy with me.

But arnt we doing exactly what Diana hated ... death by media!

[Reverandfunk]

This is the same scary public that probably don't put flowers on their grandparents graves and queued for 8 hours to sign a book of condolence for someone they didn't know and had never met. Scary.

Yes Diana did a lot of work for charity but a lot of it was for her own profile and to manipulate the press.

Thousands of people do good work for charity

While there`s people like you making your views "heard" in print, so to speak, it`s as bad as the media. Yes, I know I`ve commented.

see my post a week ago. My mum dies 10 years ago today aged 45 of cancer. She deserves a memorial service together with all the other people that died on this day. Unfortunately it's not just today it has been every year since she bloody died!!! doesn't help people who lost someone on the same day. I am planning a no news and paper day.

[LoftyLottie]

Don't even get me started on this!! I didn't know Diana, I don't think she did anything for this country and I completely don't understand why all this Diana worship goes on, or the mentallity of those who contribute to it.

She did some good charity work, but no more than other royals, and let's face it someone in her position does not have to give up much to offer support to charity. It goes with the job!! For instance, Princess Anne has worked tirelessly for charities for decades without any media interest, probably because she is not a glamorous attention seeking person.

Needless to say I am steering clear of any News programmes or newspapers today.

[Best Guess]

She had her 15 minutes of fame now enough is enough. I was fed up at the time of her death when they cancelled all sporting fixtures that w/e.

The woman was not without fault. Okay Charles was unfaithful first but at least it was only with one woman. Diana had a string of lovers, including one who unless I'm very much mistaken looks very much like one of her children.

[Veebird]

Just read yourselves! What a selfish shallow lot! Are there no romantics out there? She was badly used and fought back, we loved her for it, warts and all. She blew fresh air into the dusty corridors of power and we loved her for that. Had she lived she would have matured into a great ambassador for Britain and I believe done great work for the underpriviledged. She left two sons who want her to be remembered as they remember her, a loving person who made people happy. I do know this, she will be remembered in history.

[LoftyLottie]

Why am I effish, shallow and unromantic because I don't happen to believe Diana was some sort of present day saint? I don't understand the reasoning behind those accusations Veebird!!

I believe that the shallow people are those that follow like sheep without much thought about why they worshipped this person. She was an ordinary person, with her good points and her faults. I do not believe she was badly used at all.

Are we going to celebrate Mother Theresa's death ten years ago! I don't suppose so - and she was an unselfish saintly person.

[LoftyLottie]

effish? selfish!!!

[gina32]

just read that back yourself, what a load of crap. she was manipulative and loved the media, she wasnt as white as youre making out, she knew exactly what she was doing she used people including charles. whats romance got to do with it anyway?
