Thats as if you're claiming that the 9/11 victims should be missed whereas Diana shouldn't be?
Edit: And if it wasn't for the papparazzi chasing her at high speed she'd never have crashed - to me that holds them responsible.

Diana's death is celebrated every year, it's always in the news, and that can't be denied. But the lives of those who died in 9/11 aren't more news-worthy, and I don't think in today's media, they are considered more news-worthy, Diana seems to be in the news regularly, even if it's a small article. Does anybody who is reading this fail to see that there is a great difference in circumstances of 9/11, and the death of Princess Diana?
And I would never claim that, I wouldn't be actively disrespectful towards anybody who celebrates her life, but I feel that ten years is a long enough time for people to move on. 9/11 happened almost 6 years ago now, and when the 10th anniversary for that comes, it'll be all over the news too, and I'm sure that will annoy me as well, and actually, the 5 year anniversary media coverage annoyed me too, I'm not sticking up for 9/11 mourners and their continued mourning either, but I think that, beyond family and friends, anybody else mourning any of these people is stupid. And that's my opinion, nothing will change that, I'm not being disrespectful to people who do mourn her death, because I'm sure some of you who do will have been affected by her work positively, and feel grateful towards her and wish to remember her.
