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.

Yet consider this.
Those 3000 lives together don't mean as much as Diana as a mother to William and Harry.
I'd feel the same!
If my mum died, her life would mean more to me than 3000 strangers.
They shouldn't not celebrate just cos people are sick of seeing her face in the media.
Edit: And thank you Billy, that was my point. Although she may not have directly affected someones life - she was still someones mother, someones daughter, a sister, wife etc. They celebrated amongst themselves, it's just unfortunate the media act on it like prey.

But nobody here is William or Harry, therefore rendering that point void. I agree with you, I'm trying to state the other side of the argument, I acknowledge that almost everything both you and Jack have said is correct, but I think that everything that I've said, excluding my opinion [well, not really.
] is also correct. We could debate this all day, but I can only keep stressing that I simply don't care that she's been dead for 10 years, and I don't think it should be as newsworthy as it is. The same goes for when 9/11's 10th anniversary comes around, while I agree it was a very sad event, it didn't affect me, and it didn't even happen in this country, so as far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't be headlining our media.
