Looks like the Cossie doesn't exist. It's numbers not coming up on an app I have.
The Daimler is SORN and looks to have been for a while.
Stashed away from ghoulish eyes? Or in a museum?
I take it the Merc was shredded and melted?
Last i read - it was in a shipping container on the outskirts of Paris......The Daimler is SORN and looks to have been for a while.

Apparently the car she died in had been stolen a day or two before and the 'chip' was the only part missing. Apparently a common way the SAS assisnate persons.

I'll never forget the tragic morning when I heard about it.
I recall waking up, hungover on a Sunday am- at that time they were re-runing old episodes of Grange Hill from the 70's/80's on early morning TV.
They'd only bloody cancelled it to drone on about her all day long.
On another note, I found the moron's slinging flowers at the funeral cars particularly council and highly offensive. Have some respect for goodness sake. It wasn't a chuffing morrisey concert.

I saw it on TV when i was a kid. I ran out of the living room and shouted up the stairs - "MUM! PRINCESS ANN'S DIED!"
I think that was my first ever brain fart. I literally saw it on TV seconds before.
Also we had to draw a tribute to her at school (primary) and the weird kid drew a car crash. He had some learning disability but holy st at the time i thought it was hilarious.
Kids are bds.

I did stuff like that when I was a kid and it freaked teachers out so they contacted my parents.
Things like draw a picture of what you did on your holidays would result in me drawing a plane crash or fire or some other disaster.
I was that weird kid.

I was living in Germany in the time. We were moving back to the UK so were packing up the house. My wife and I put the TV on and sat my eldest (then about 4) in front of it (great parenting, I know) so we could get on with sorting the house.My daughter then came running in to find me. She was indignant as there was "something wrong with the TV". The television channels had gone to sombre news reports rather than cartoons. That's how I found out.
We arrived back as the mass mourning started. It felt very odd.

I was visiting my parents that weekend, came down that morning and my dad told me. My first thought was "Oh! That's convenient". I never voiced that out loud, but a few years later the first person I mentioned it to said "that's what I thought as well!".I recall waking up, hungover on a Sunday am- at that time they were re-runing old episodes of Grange Hill from the 70's/80's on early morning TV.

Watch Christopher Hitchen's brilliant 'Diana: The Mourning After' and give us your thoughts!

She didn't leave a penny of her millions of pounds to charity!
Fascinating to watch. Would be interesting to examine The whole thing in the same way when it's 20 years on.http://youtu.be/zkrPx5RQ2I0

I have to admit, at the time the whole hysteria thing caught me. A very odd thing to get involved with.
How do I view her now? A dead celeb. Someone who ultimately had little or no long term impact on society, or the world. A dead icon from the past century, a minor icon now there is perspective on her life. She wasn't a great white hope for the future like JFK, a steadfast leader like Churchill or an uber bd like Hitler.
The world did not change for good or bad because of her.
Sure she played her part in history, in being the mother of a future king. But that's it.
Maybe her legacy will be as a phenomenon to be peered at, written about and discussed in undergraduate social science or media studies university seminars.
Had she lived would she have destroyed the monarchy? Who knows? She's dead.
I do not agree with everything he says in his debates, but I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to and considering his arguments.

There's a sham royal marriage and at least two sham politician marriages currently going on but the press can't report those either. At the moment.
And where have you got this information from?William Hague?
Liam Fox?

Apparently the biggest global story today, according to the BBC world news channel, is Diana.
Does anyone actually still care?
Harry and William most probably. Does anyone actually still care?
The moral is, it doesn't matter who you are, the laws of physics still apply to you.

If only she had followed Jimmy Savile's example - what a different world it would be today......
I remember writing this, thinking it was very witty, but now, it just looks as if I am mad. I can't for the life of me remember why!
Just remembered - it isn't very funny though...
