Princess Diana - 10 years on
OK, so where were you when you heard the terrible news? At home, abroad, at sea?
How did you take it? Many in the UK probably suffered a profound sense of shock. A neighbour of mine was in tears and needed comforting.
As for me, I heard the news at 37,000 feet coming back from Malaga.

I was living in Berlin, and as I worked nights I slept through the news. The following night (which I had free) everyone kept asking me what I thought about Diana (because I'm Welsh), which I thought was some kind of wind-up, what with me being a Welsh republican and Diana being an English Princess of Wales. My replies to these questions later caused me some embarassment when I discovered exactly why she had become the topic of conversation that evening.
I'd switched R4 on for "the Archers" in my usual Sunday morning sleepy way and suddenly realised, "Hang on - this isn't The Archers..."
