Walking to work in Newcastle Under Lyme, listening to the radio walking in at 3 or 4am. It took around 5 minutes of listening to the news to the newscaster to finally tell me which famous person had just died in Paris.
Next to 9/11 the biggest news story of my lifetime.

So how did the message get delivered?"
Someone said “ I’ve got something to tell you “
He said “ ok but better make it snappy “ |

I remember it like it was yesterday...late Sat night/Sun morning 3am walked in from a club eating a burger and turned on TV which flashed up DIANA & DODI HURT IN CAR CRASH..... I ran in to wake Dad up and we both sat on sofa in shock watching it all unfold....i went to lay flowers a week later @ Kensington...was the maddest thing ive ever experienced amongst many 1000s of people paying their respects but it was DEADLY SILENT....very moving and powerful... |
