[1990kerry1]

I was 7 when this happened, i cant remember too much about it but i remeber my mum being really sad and crying, and my dad said we should go to church and pray for her. RIP lady di x

[Pipehh12345]

how dare they put an advert on this video

[Kitificationable]

Rough day in Britain when a newsreader cries.

[RipperRooFanXZ]

...i hate those youtube adverts

[TommyJeanBoy]

I remember this night clear as crystal so sad can't believe it happened she helped me become who I am today RIP Lady Dianna you always have a special place in my heart!!!



[kamneol]

poor sound.

[randomdave30]

God Save the Queen. Didn't do much for the Princess though, did he?

[QYD1000]

i bet the queen will get this when she goes

[nidhavellir]

How is it the BBC did a pronouncement for this nincompoop but couldn't get it straight for the Queen Mother??

[revonvideo]

@nidhavellir The Queen Mother news was immediate, BBC knew quite some time about Di.

[SolidWolf92]

I think 'our' (younger generation) version of this would be 9/11.... or even Micheal Jacksons death. Bit of a slight jump from the death of 3000 people to the death of a pop star but those are the only two BIG news reports I can remember. I was 5 when Princess Diana died but I can't remember anything about it.

[musicmaster5000]

Still sends shivers down my spine to this day :/

[dineen68]

Anyone of a certain age will remember this, I think its sad that younger people won't remember how this news absolutely rocked the world

[MsEZRA1234]

i still remember when i woke up the first thing i heard was her death my sister and i were crying so bad

[liam98865]

what time was it in the morning when the bbc suspended promgramming

[BadGirlOfAutism]

OMG I so remember this! I was 15 and I went into the kitchen for breakfast and my mum said 'There's terrible news, Diana's dead!'. I was pouring my drink and said 'Diana who?', not thinking that anything lie this could ever happen to her. She married Charles the year i was born and I was so used to seeing her on TV; I didn't think she could ever die.

[mikeymorgan]

I remember seeing this when i was 8 years old, i used to always wake early, i remember waking my parents up about it

[smudgersgal]

@mikeymorgan

me too, i was 9 i turned on itv thinking kids programmes would be on. saw princess diana had died, woke my mum up and told her...she wouldn't believe me till she saw the telly herself though.

[Kaynas1988]

@smudgersgal I was also 9, when I heard the tragic news, my mum put the news and when I heard i broke down in tears

[gavinpow77]

Regardless of whether it's right or wrong to suspend programming for a death, Martyn Lewis (some would say broke the cardinal rule of journalism) showed a massive strength that weekend. He cried on a news report. I'd always thought him a great journalist anyway, as where many in his day (Buerke, Witchill, etc) but to show emotion in such a situation should be celebrated and not frowned upon.

[danesesse]

ok i get she was nive but this some time ago she wasnt white as a sheet spending a lot hours with her friend on his boat him being the biggest exported of landmines ever. so shes a bit of a hyporcrit but yer get over it

yes i no thumbs down

[andyjg]

she was the people's princess

[azarimanka]

@StevieFan85 is there a reason or just your lack of education speaking there?

[07979097201]

@azarimanka your only a fuckin kid, i suppose ya wud rather have a president for five years who just gives up after his/her term in office, if u hate royalty so much, why stay in the uk. get a job and a life and fuck off to sum shit hole country who has a president. nob ed! and ya a liverpool fan same as me! fuckin embarassed to av a prick kid who knows nothin! FUCKIN STUPID KIDS !!!!!!!!!

[Harrysound]

Someone dies and we can't watch TV....

I rmemeber this well,I was round a friends house.

Pretty shocking then,I think i'm over it now though.

[cymruadam]

Apparently she was washing her hair at the time, because they found her head and shoulders all over the dashboard

[MrGary66]

Diana never lept into a roller - usually an Audi

[BlastEMFF]

i know iam going to get stick for this but at time i was glad in away she died, was sick of seeing her in the papers day in day, i dont give a fuck if she had 8882 lover and she dont eat any food.

[davegwldn]

Harsh and somewhat unnecessary words there I feel.

[rtk316ytshooter94]

I know this is irrelevant but they always seem to announce something like a nuclear bomb is going to go off ending the world saying "This is BBC Television News from London". Idk maybe it's just me.

Anyway, R.I.P. Diana.

[jameskennedy80]

wow i didn't know they did this. god save the queen!

[TyphusKnights]

Hear hear

[suineggninnips]

What time would this have been at?

[saskabush2006]

This video is interesting because of the practice of showing the flag and playing the anthem. They did the same thing when the Queen Mother died and, presumably, they'll do this when the Queen herself passes. It's an interesting bit of tradition - something you wouldn't expect to see on, say, American TV when a president passes away.

[Rmg12]

god save the queen. ~(although i'm an atheist lol - i'm a monarchist)

[frasercarle]

ignore them i sometimes forget stuff like that.

I don't know my own birthstone!!! lol

[prfctday]

Ignore them... these people don't get that not everyone knows everything!

[jfkkorky]

I was 12 when she passed and I still remember vividly crying on my couch in the city of Chicago .....

[UK31337]

I remember when it happened, I was 10.

That day, we went to a dog show because we were choosing what breed of dog to get (we got the dog in November 1997 and still have him now :D) and visited my grandparents for lunch.

I don't remember anyone in my family being terribly upset by her death, to be honest.

[andypandy202000]

how the hell could you not know that?

[UKArchiveTV]

Some great clips here. How did they get this so wrong three years later.
