I remember that I was working a night shift.
I Came on the radio she had been in an accident n she was OK.
Then a bit later it said she had broken her arm.
Then a bit later said she had been admitted to hospital.
By the time I had finished the shift at 6am it had been announced she had died.
Pretty fucked up reporting, going from she was OK to a few hours later dead. |

I went to the local newsagents on the Sunday morning and the customer in front of me was talking about how sad it was that Diana had died. I thought she was talking about one of her neighbours  one of those never to be forgotten moments in your life. 9/11 was a similar experience.  |

1st day of holiday in Crete. Turned up at the pool-side restaurant for brekkie (having arrived at the hotel in the early hours), to be greeted with 'She's dead' and floods of tears from the English staff behind the bar. |

Just got back from 6 weeks away on the Costa del Cleggy the night before. Was starting year eight at the time. I was more annoyed they took all the cartoons off on a Sunday morning that anything else |

15... oddly we'd been camping in France, and had driven through Paris that day to get to the ferry.
The news was not reaching the boat properly and I remember people taking bets on if she was dead |

I was 19 and doing my Phase one training at Pirbright. A few of us were on Fire picket duty and when we came back to the block to pick up our shaving kits all the lads were telling us what happened. |

Actually I don't know but if you tell me when she died I can then work out my age,
I do remember it was a car crash - & some time ago, possibly last century even .... |

Outside of family members, I can say that this was the most shocking death of a famous person for me. Brother woke me up with a phone call. I just sat stunned in front of the tv for most of the day. |

I was 21 and had recently moved back to look after my mum. My best mate woke me up after our one and only argument the night before saying we had to make up because princess Di had died… was a surreal day. |

I had a residency DJ gig on Saturdays in a big student type bar in SE London. We were in a taxi home for a back to mine. The minute we heard the news on the radio my Co DJ quipped "when is Princess Diana not Princess Diana? When she's Diana (dyin inna) car crash". Terrible joke but it was pretty quick considering the state of us at that hour.
Conversely my mum was in floods of tears. |
