people absolutely adored diana she was fabulous. all these haters, ive no respect for people who bad mouth the dead. princess diana was a lovely person and shame on you all that are trying to be smart. go watch another video and we'll diss you wen you die huh?
Winston Churchill's funeral was about one thousandth as pompous as this thing. All he did was save the Western world from Nazism. All Diana did was get some photo ops at AIDS hospices. Go figure.
Completely agree, the royals were right in that an altogether more low-key affair would be more fitting for a woman that could not escape the media, not even in death.
The modern memory of Diana Spencer is warped beyond all recognition of reality.
You don't seem to grasp the fact that this is what her people wanted..the people who loved her. It repesented an acknowlegement from the Royal Family that she was truly held in high regard. If they'd had their way, they'd have probably left her to be buried in France. Unless you're really a Brit, you have no way of understanding how we felt about her.
so quiet, i can't quite remember the last time the country as a whole had love for somebody on such as scale. it looked like such a beautiful day weather wise as well, rest in peace diana
I remember these moments so vivdly. My family and I woke up at three in the morning to watch this peaceful yet sad and somber day take fold in London. In my heart, watching this take place, I knew that I would someday make it to London and rewalk the steps of where the carriage travelled. I did, 8 years later. I wish she were still here, my obsession for London has never left me.
I question the date of her death Aug. 31st 1997, and here her divorce was finalized Aug. 28 1996. What is that exactly one year later? plus minus 2 days? Wiki claims she got a setlement of 17 mil form the div. but was not able to discuss the details. I wonder if she actually got to collect it all or if they killed her before some legal date? So weird. So sad.
It was 31 August 1997, one year and three days after the divorce and I believe she collected the money from the settlement.
I take issue with your assertion "they killed her". It disturbs me that so many people think this way when mere common sense, and (two thorough police investigations undertaken in free world countries) tells you that it was an accident as it's impossible to set up something of such complexity and involving so many people like as is regretfully alleged.
I agree. Especially when unfortunately its not like a car accident with fatalities is a rare thing in the free world, particularly with speeding, no seatbelts and alcohol involved.
shes away from harm now,no one can hurt her ever again,may she rest in peace for ever more....that bell sends a wave of sickness through me everytime it tolls :o(
I remember the night that the Princess' death was announced in America. Saturday night...went straight home from a party and watched the news all night long. Cried myself to sleep only to wake up only after a few hours and watched the news incessantly. As a 13 yr old boy I got up in the middle of the night and watched her get married in 1981 (still have my local paper from July 1981). Heartbreaking...she did so much for the disenfranchised.
I wish i had a copy of this.

i don't understand why they did not have an open casket. Princess Grace and Pavarotti both had open caskets.

Might be because it was an Anglican service. As far as I know, only Roman Catholic services in Christianity have the remains unconcealed.
