Oddly, I was playing Sonic 3 (with & Knucles expansion slot-in) when I found out she died. We were at a family friends house, she had been a secretary for someone in the royal household so it hit quite close. Never played Sonic 3 again.

it was a Sunday and we’d gotten up for mass and me and my brother were eating cereal in the kitchen and my dad told us and we didn’t really believe him until he turned the TV on. then we went about the rest of our day.

don’t remember much else other than it being in the papers for weeks (decades in the Express’ case)

I worked at a family fun park (Killarney Springs, RIP) sort of place and on the day of her funeral about 3 people turned up cos every fucker was watching the TV. It was a lovely day and i just sat by the boating lake and ate donuts waiting for customers who didnt turn up.

We were at Center Parcs as well. I probably went ‘meh’ and then went on the rapids. I vaguely remember seeing the news about a serious crash in Paris coming through on Teletext (RIP) before we got in the car and drove up to Center Parcs.

On the Saturday evening I’d come back from the pub and bought an early edition of the Sunday papers. They were completely full of Di and Dodi, with pull out supplements and everything.

Caught my train home and, just before I went to sleep, the radio said that Di had been in an accident in Paris and had broken her arm and that Dodi was dead. I remember going to sleep thinking “THIS will put the cat amongst the pigeons”.

When I woke up on the Sunday morning, I thought my radio was bust because I couldn’t find any station that wasn’t playing sombre music.

Remember 2 things:

My brother having tor revise for a retake exam the next day which basically decided whether he got his degree or not and was getting angry that all the radio was playing was sombre music.

My friend’s birthday cinema trip to see Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery was delayed until 5pm because all the cinemas were closed for the funeral. So inconsiderate.

Emailed my old man about it the other week seeing if he had any fond recollections of a nation collectively losing its mind. He said he doesn’t remember much apart from needing to get some decorating finished that weekend.

Dads.
