    Went to get my shopping from Tescos in Liverpool - it was on the front page of these editions - felt like it wasn't real. Went gone and let my mate know that I was sharing a house with at the time - sat watching Tv most of the day - got more and more shocking as day went by

    Been out in Leeds and once back home remember St Elsewhere on C4 being interrupted by newsflash reporting the accident about 0230. Never went to sleep after that until the following night.

    We were driving back from France ironically, had just got back to UK off the ferry if I remember right. Was only 14 then so memory a bit sketchy but pretty sure that was where I was, in the family car.

    What about the time the Queen and lady Di were been driven down the Mall when a lone gun man Hijacked them....ordering them out of the car he demanded princess Di's engagement ring...Di replied my good fellow i never wear anything that large to go shopping,
    so he turned to the Queen and said right wheres your crown ...she too replied ..my good fellow i never wear anything that big when i go shopping
    Okay then he said i will nick the range rover and off he drove

    the Queen turned to Di and asked... where did you hide the ring ,you had it on, when we left the palace

    Di replied i hid it up between my thighs...you know where cough....in my vagina ..

    well done replied the queen ...i too hid the crown in exactly the same place on my body..

    The chauffeur turned round and said i knew it
    if Prince Andrew had let his wife Sarah Ferguson come with us this morning we might not have lost the ******* range rover

    Myself and my wife heard the news on the TV when we got up for breakfast. Remember we were both very sad for some time after. The funeral was traumatic especially for the two young Princes. They shouldn't have made them walk behind the cortège. Some hold the theory it was done to stop the public attempting to get at Charles. Don't know if that was true.
    She was a grand lass and didn't really deserve the shabby treatment she received during her marriage. There's no wonder that public opinion has been adverse towards Charles and Camilla of late particularly after the recent Channel 4 documentary which was filmed by her voice coach. She came over as being very sad.
    We have not heard Charles's version of course, but apparently he thought it quite acceptable for the Prince of Wales to
    continue the tradition of having a mistress. The marriage appeared to be doomed from the outset.!
    Twenty years on, Diana is still front page news and is still the Queen of Hearts in many people's eyes.

    I was on a job. No music was played on the radio all day, just talk of her death etc.

    Let's be fair though. He had a mistress but she was playing away as well

    I went to bed with the TV on and kept drifting in and out of sleep as it all unfolded. They were playing it down to start with, so I couldn't believe it when the news broke that she had died.
