I'm just making a thread to remember and commemorate Princess Diana, who tragically died 10 years today.
She was a wonderful person who touched the lives of many. It is so sad that her life was taken from her so tragically. |

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. Good to see William and Harry coping well considering the circumstances. |

Not to detract from the sadness of her death, but I honestly don't care, I didn't feel sad when she died, and I still don't feel sad that she's dead. I appreciate that she did a lot of charity work, but a lot of other people have done charity work, and many of them have done a lot greater things than she ever did. I'm sure she was a good person, but I think it's ridiculous that the headlines of the news are about a woman who died 10 years ago, in a car crash. :|

I'm pretty sure that the royal family share your sentiments about it being on the news. I'm also pretty sure it's been a horrible 10 years for Will + Harry to see their mother constantly being spoke about. They can't help that the public WANT to see it on the media, that why it's there. I'm not a fan of the royal family either. |

I agree Z, there are other people who do great things, IE Teachers, Nurses, Doctors, Firemen, but they dont get all this, even though Diana was a great person, its time to move on

She introduced the first AIDs clinic into the UK, that's admirable, and like I said, I can appreciate what she did, but I've never felt sad about her death, and it's annoying, personally, to be met with "10 years today" everywhere I go, and I imagine there'll be articles about her for the next week or so as well. |

Why should we detract from the fact that she was a caring, loving mother and charity worker just cos people are sick of the medias coverage of it? |

This is a celebration of her life, not a mourning of her death. |

If you don't care about Diana's death than simply don't post in this thread because it's actually quite disrespectful.

Like I mentioned before, the service today was simply for people to reminisce and think back to the services she has done for this country. The main service was for family, friends and acquaintances. Should they also move on? |

However, today isn't for us - the public. It's for her family (her sons, her ex-husband) to celebrate the time they had together. Should they have cancelled this occasion just because people are sick of reading about it? Seriously? |

Why do we need big flashy services and stuff to remember the stuff shes done? If the stuff she has done helped people, then they shouldnt need all that to remember her. I do appreciate that she has done loads of good stuff for people but I dont see why she gets all this stuff
