What do you think of how Princess Diana's funeral was handled?

[brigitanovinec]

So many people would like her to be alive and still among us.❤

The moment of announcement of Diana's death was like JFK all over again. A sudden impossible devastation. The memory is burned into my soul. She was a hero.

[anwarallie]

I remember the exact moment when I heard Diana had passed away. Pure shock and grief.

[theweirdsistersoracle]

26 years after her death, I still cry when I see things like this. She is the most beautiful soul I've ever seen.

[deanneshane]

The first time I cried for a stranger. She was such a beautiful lady inside out

I was fortunate to meet Diana in the mid 90s when I, and a colleague, were installing a telephone line into a hospital, while she was on a visit. Her security pulled us up as we were looking out of the door of the telephone MDF room of the hospital. They, understandably, were a bit worried by two blokes peering at what was going on as she went past. Diana was cool about it and asked us what we were doing in the cupboard/room, her security were not as enthusiastic, lol. She made us feel what we were doing was interesting, even though it was mundane to anybody else, and she didn't have to talk to us. I feel the measure of somebody famous, of which I've met a few on the job, is how they interact with the public, and how they put you at ease. I also got this feeling when I met Fergie while on an installation, more down to earth than you'd think, not like some less famous celebrities I've met.

Diana deserved peace, so the island is a fitting place. They ahd already shared her with the world, she'd been hounded restlessly. She'll never be forgotten, but she deserves to be left alone once and for all.

Diana was the only royal that almost people in the entire world were sad when she died. The flooding flowers prove that people loved her and they still do.

I remember getting the news paper off of my front porch and reading the front page. I burst into tears as I thought of my two young boys ages 2 and 3 thinking what would they do and what would their lives be like without their momma who loves them more than life. I often wondered what it would like to be an actual princess until I learned how it went for her. Rest In Peace, Princess Diana. The world was better with you in it ❤

[jessypzytaruk]

Diana would have been such a beautiful, classy queen this days. God bless her.😢

[florypridgen]

Rest in peace Princess Diana, always you remain the princess of the world. My love to you.God loves you.❤

[Only-me-observing]

The monarchy only decided to honor Diana after her passing due to the public getting more and more upset with the monarchy. I remember that very well.

[margaretsweeney-im]

She'll always be my queen rest in peace Diana

[nappssnapps]

RIP Diana. She died when I was 8 so I really don't have many memories of her but I feel a connection to her for some reason. I had an uncle who died of AIDS in 1997 so I remember her doing good work for those who suffered with the disease so that could be why. Rest easy princess 👸🏼 🩷

This was probably the most shocking death of a public figure I can recall. I always admired her compassion for those less fortunate, especially the many misunderstood victims of AIDS. I will always remember that summer night, my boyfriend and I were on vacation. It was Labor Day weekend. We had just returned from sitting in the dark with friends on a private beach. We turned on the television in the bedroom of our B+B.
The news was just being announced with details to follow. CNN was a novelty to us since we didn’t have cable at home. My boyfriend was tired and rolled over, saying to wake him if there was news. I watched for an hour or so until her photo with the 2 years suddenly popped up. I couldn’t believe it, but then they announced it. I think I gave my boyfriend a charley horse when I pounded his leg with my fist. We sat in bed, in shock.
We set our alarm clock the following week to wake up early for her funeral. It all seemed like a bad dream. I still can’t believe she’s been gone longer now than the world knew her. She would have made a wonderful queen.

OMG "Candle in the Wind" still makes me cry because of the version he sang at Diana's funeral. 😢

[kathyo]

Diana's burial place is perfect. She deserves to rest in absolute peace. She is so missed. Hard to believe she'd be a grandmother now.
