I never forget the morning after she died the Times/Torygraph had a comment piece really ripping into where her life was going. Their tone soon changed and she became this angel figure for simpletons.
The Private Eye following her death was superb, they just filled it with journalism from just before her death (Airhead, bonkers, manpiulater etc) contrasted with the same writers and editorials after her death (Angel, perfect princess, most wonderful fragrant person in the world etc). W H Smith and other outlets banned it and I think it is pretty rare now. The hypocrisy was off the scale. Superb edition and still have it. Just amazing how two faced journos are, and politicians etc etc

I was only 10 at the time so it didn't really affect me, can't remember my parents making much of a fuss beyond watching it on the news.
What I've wondered though it post split with Charles was there any sort of disagreement over who Will and Harry went with? Did Diana want to take them with her?
judging by most of the relationship topics on here the woman usually gets the lions share so how did this play out I've never really seen any coverage of it
Given that the sole purpose of her marriage to Charlie was to produce the heir and spare, any likelihood of custody would be vanishingly small.What I've wondered though it post split with Charles was there any sort of disagreement over who Will and Harry went with?

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?

Coincidentally, I've just read Alexei Sayle's short story 'Barcelona Plates' which has a sort of connection to the incident.

I think the wreck was brought to the UK as part of the inquest. It would be interesting to know if it still exists.Coincidentally, I've just read Alexei Sayle's short story 'Barcelona Plates' which has a sort of connection to the incident.

I'm in America today ... The truth at last ;-)
A group of my mates decided that they wanted to attend the funeral(we all lived in Burnham, Bridgwater and Radstock areas) so they drove up to London the night before and slept on the pavement ready for the next day, mad as a box of frogs. I was asked if I wanted to go, luckily I was working early the following day for a supermarket at the time so couldn't. The truth being I didn't want to go anyway and as the whole world was closing so everybody could watch the funeral I had arranged to go in at 5 AM (maybe 6) and bugger off at 09:30 so I could have the day off. Didn't watch any of the funeral, roads were quiet though to give the old 2.8i Capri a good blast!
I remember meeting some mates on the Sunday morning. One of them said "Lady Di just died". My reply was, "oh, where are we going for breakfast then"?
Funeral day, my mate kept his bike shop open and told me that he had one of his best trading days of the year. Lots of people wandering around, and, as all the shops in town were closed, the great unwashed ended up in his shop.
