Tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death. It remains to this day the greatest tragedy in the history of mankind.
Many public events will commemorate the day. And there will be private tributes too. Her former husband, HRH the Prince of Wales, as a mark of respect has pledged to service Camilla Parker Bowles whilst using a black condom.
How do CCMB-ers plan on remembering The People's Princess?
Who?
remember her opening a park in Ely 20 odd years ago and when she married the FA cupQuote:

It was not without irony that the mourning public turned on the press as being responsible for her death. It may have been true, of course, but where did the demand for her media coverage come from in the first place? From the very same people who were so deep in mourning and who engaged in such idolatry.
Well, getting in the same car as a pissed driver and failing to put on a seat belt didn't exactly help.Quote:

The media know she is still capable of selling copy 20 years later which is what this is mainly about.
What I still don't get is why Charles was happy to swap the lovely Diana for Camilla the frump.
Some sort of fetish I suspect.
Nevermind "2 oclockers" shes way past that lolQuote:

Nick has nailed it, very sad to see a young mother who was clearly devoted to her boys lose her life. Sad also of course for the boys.
But the scenes of people wailing and crying in the streets made me feel very uncomfortable.
On the Monday after she died one otherwise sane colleague, came into work seething that he'd gone to his local garden centre had had the audacity to be playing their usual piped background manager and let us all know that he'd taken the manager to task about it.
Agreed. I don't remember much being asked afterwards about why many reacted in such a needy way. What was she (or any royal) giving them that they were heartbroken to lose?Quote:

Looking at the footage only twenty years ago , how Britain has become so much more multicultural with lovely muslims in their hijab mingling freely with other fellow tourists , enjoying the benefits our nation freely provides . We are truly blessed with a lovely multicultural diversity,. Allahu Akbar peeps
What total bollox!!!!Quote:

I see an influence from their mother, and likely the events and circumstances that befell her. Perhaps a determined and dogged influence.
I worked in London's Guildhall for a few years in the early 1980s.
One day, Diana was attending a dedication of a few ambulances on the forecourt of said building, whilst I was going back to work after lunch.
I happened to be about 5 or 6 feet from her. Never bothered before, but at that time I realised that TV and press pics didn't do her justice - she was stunning! (this was before she went too skinny with her eating disorders, of course.)
Why the hell did Chas dump her for old horse-face?
My rwo sons are approximately the same age as Will and Harry; I can't imagine how they would have felt if they had lost their mum at any age - let alone when they were so young and vulnerable as the princes were.

They don't (didn't) learn from their mistakes with Margaret, Anne, or Andrew. They should have all been allowed to marry who they wanted to, NOT what the "FAMILY" wanted.
William got his "commoner" and Harry will to.
But, but, the guardian says the UK is a horrible cesspool of hatred?Quote:
