Today is the 12th anniversary of Princess Diana being killed in a car crash in Paris, and not a I love/hate Diana thread in sight.
I remember back on the C4 boards a couple of years ago on the 10th anniversary, loads of discussion about the whole thing, where people were when they heard and the rise of mass national grief that outpoured that week and the same 2 years ago.
Has time made the anniversary less significant? or are people just sick and tired of the whole thing and see the start of the nationwide grief as a bad thing to come out of it.
I'm watching the Diana years on Sky, not because of any great love of her, just because of there being nothing on I fancied watching and we have got to the national grief after she was brought back home.
Have we become hardened to the pictures and the memories or do we see it now, for what it truly was, a sad accident, that caused the death of a young woman with young children.
I'd be interested to see what others think now, looking back to 12 years ago today.
