Diana's death: Tell us your memories from that time...

[bpwriter47]

I'm older and lived in england when diana and charles were together.  I am American but loved England and Princess Diana.
I was visiting a huge church seminar in Dallas, Texas and staying at friends house.  By myself I stayed up all night watching the news unfold and sobbed on my son's shoulder when it was announced she died.  But what I remember the most was the next day we went to Six Flags Amusement Park and there was 10,000 people from all these churches filing in to this huge stadium...yet...it was dead silence, no one speaking, even the children seem to know to be quite. It was silent when everyone sat down.  Then we took a few minutes to remember Diana.  The silence said it all.  I cried for days for the 2 little boys who would grow up without a mum and what would be expected from them, but mostly because they'd lost their best friend.

My father wake up me in the middle of the night to say that Diana was died. I dint believe in that, I wake up early in my birthday to see her funeral, it was a sad moment...But the times passes so fast, It is so strange, Now I have 24 years old... :P

I was only 8 when it happened but I remember that my mom was really upset and was crying. when I asked what was wrong she told that she had died, and I asked who she was and my mom said something along the lines of one of the greatest women to ever live.

My husband and I had just gotten back from a wedding.  He turned on the tv in the bedroom and came to me with a shocked look on his face and told me Princess Diana had been killed in an auto accident.  I looked him straight in the eye, my hands were on my hips (battle position) and told him that was not funny.  I was amazed at the depth of my grief.  I was in tears for days.

Where were you the moment you heard that Diana had died?

Can you remember how you felt about her death?

What was being said at the time?

I remember it well i was at work and a friend stopped us and told us about her death we had the news on all day not much got done that day. She was such a huge inspiration to me the sad part of all that was is that Diana was happy too at that time in her life.

I was shocked and sadden by her death she was way to young the way she died as well the media just needs to learn to back off certain people imo.

I remember my friends and i watched the furnel that was pretty sad esepcially when her brother spoke out i felt bad for William and Harry it was just sad all the way around.  She would of been proud of her sons today.

It just goes to show life is way to short just gotta make the best of it cause you just never know what tomorrow will bring.

No one will ever take Diana's place! She was an amazing woman whose life was taken away way to early.

it was my father's birthday and we had a barbeque, but later in the night i went to my room, turned on cnn and there were the images outside of the tunnel. i felt a weird rush as i ran downstairs to tell my mom who had so much in common with diana, she even has the same expression in her face. like stix said, it also made me scared to lose my parents and i felt sad for the boys, especially little harry, i wondered if he realized what was going on, but then my mom told me there are worse things in the world, like kids in poor countries loosing their parents and then end up forgotten in horrible orphanages; at least these boys were royalty and people will always keep an eye on them. she said the sad thing is we might never find out what really killed her.
