Remembering Princess Diana by gardenfolk

Remembering Princess Diana

You called out to our country
and you whispered to those in pain
Now you belong to heaven
and the stars spell out your name.
...Bernie Taupin & Elton John

Diana, Princess of Wales, died 25 years ago, leaving a legacy of activism and charity that lives on. She is missed by millions, the People's Princess.

I watched the royal wedding over and over for a week. I remember when the news said Diana was in an automobile accident and suffered a "broken arm", which unfortunately was inaccurate. I watched her funeral and cried in disbelief. I visited a church and wrote a condolence letter to be sent to England.

Princess Diana will forever be celebrated for her unwavering love for her two sons, Prince William and Harry and was the embodiment of grace and kindness.

I look forward to the succession of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, to the throne.

For ever remembered in our house as the day TV was ruined on the birthday girl's morning to choose what to watch. She was most indignant!!

Let's let Charles reign before Will's life is ruined by taking on the monarch's role

We were living in Cyprus at the time. It was the only thing on forces TV. Just about all day. Very sad, particularly for her young boys.
Beautiful flowers.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond How old was the birthday girl? It wasn’t my birthday but when JFK was assassinated, I was 9 years old and there was nothing to watch on TV for a week or more.

@beryl @merrelyn @kchuk

Thank you. I cannot believe it has been that long ago, except by seeing her boys grow up. Sorry Diana missed that and seeing her grandchildren.

That is a really spectacular plant.

@carole_sandford The same thing happened when I was 9 and JFK was assassinated. However, being older, I watched everything I could about Princess Diana, from her engagement to her funeral. I admired her and was shocked by her death...leaving her beloved boys.

@carole_sandford I remember phoning you after the funeral
@gardenfolk she was 32 yesterday

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I don’t remember that, but I do remember KT being rather disgruntled at the very audacity of most famous woman in the world dying on her birthday & causing such TV havoc 😂😂
