I'm staggered this thread hasn't appeared in the cringe thread!
Talk about embarrassing, everyone desperate to believe they knew what she was really like, all based on what they read in the Daily Mail no doubt!
Bit like the mourning sickness that followed, everyone feeling that they 'knew her' somehow.
Bizarre.

I remember the day of the funeral my car was running on vapours so I pulled into a Tesco station and it was shut. The staff were inside and a note pinned to the door "as a mark of respect to Diana this station will be closed for 2 hours" 
I moved my car to the out of hours pumps and tried to use that but they were powered off. Annoyed I went over to the cashier window and asked WTF was going on and she said "we've shut everything of for the funeral"
WTF!!!!
Since when has buying petrol been disrespectful???!! Was she the patron saint of f
king Tesco or something???!!! What made it so much worse was the staff were actually in the station.

That would have made me furious too. OT, I had this once in Newcastle with a taxi firm over a football match. Needed a cab while some "important" local game was going on and was told no because they were all watching the match. Life had stopped until the final whistle. The following Monday we engaged the services of another firm to fulfill out 5-6k a year taxi contract.I moved my car to the out of hours pumps and tried to use that but they were powered off.

I remember the owner making us wait and wait, we left around 3 hours late. Suppose from his point of view it was big news and he didn't want to let his customers down.
Once the papers were an hour or so late I remember his phone going with people ringing up to complain, for some cusotmers I remember him having to break the news. Still remember it despite only being 11
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
