Diana's death was saddening for a huge number of people, but it wasn't for me, I don't think that I'm being disrespectful when I say that, because I know and appreciate all of the things she did in her life.
When it's the 10th anniversary of 9/11, people should move on, but they should remember it, and they will, because 3000 people died. I don't think that one person's death should be such a momentous occasion after 10 years. I don't think this would have gotten anywhere near as much as media attention if Diana hadn't been royalty, do you? That's not her fault, obviously, but this media attention, and the over-reaction to her death irritates me.

So the victims of 9/11 are more important and should be missed more than Diana? I didn't have to use that example, I could have used a number of examples. Elvis presley died 30 years ago, of which the anninversary was 2 weeks ago. People celebrated his life and music, and remembered him. So why shouldn't people for Diana?
