On my 15th birthday is when princess diana died (31st August) My parents didnt believe me when i rushed up stairs to tell them. They said she couldnt be dead she was a princess!! Strange though my mum told me someone important would die on my 15th birthday. Princess Diana couldnt be more important could she. xx

My birthday 21 July was the date of the unsuccessful bomb attempts on London. I am very glad that they were unsuccessful. I see that the extradition hearing for the suspect in Italy is on my wedding anniversary 17 August. My father in law's birthday was 31 August and I remember he was very sad the year Princess Diana died. nell

My birthday is 30th August - Princess Diana died the night of August 30th (early hours of August 31st) - that particular year it did put a bit of a damper on my celebrations. K x

My family seems to be doomed as far as sad events on their birthdays. I was born on September 11th (Twin towers disaster) , hubby and daughter share January 27th ( Holocaust Remembrance Day), Youngest daughter July 7th ( London bombing). Do you share your birthday with a sad event? Louise
