Will you be watching the Thanks giving on t,v, at 11.00 bbc1 this morning?

Whats your thoughts of princess of Diana?




libra.

Morning

probably will watch
I find her fascinating

Won't be watching.

I think she should be left to rest in peace.

Wasn't a fan of hers.

<==== Will be at work. I dont know if we are now on overkill to be honest. Please excuse poor choice of words.

I am not a Royalist - but cant deny she helped move the Royal Family into this century.

To put it v crudely Media wise - She was the Victoria Beckham of the 80's. Now if something happened to the Beckhams I dont think I will be overly worried and certainly not remembering them 10 years down the line.

Its what her sons want,,they have for ten years been held back because of their age and maturity.so are now able to do it their way,

I dont think I will get to watch it.

What I find fascinating about her is the fact that after 10 years people still get feel so stronglyabout her

Very moving service.

Did you see it?

The Princes's did their mother proud.

For God's sake - it's 10 years, let her sleep.

No I did not watch it. Frankly of no interest whatsoever to me.

I think the best Tribute Her Boys could and should do is to take over her "Memorial Fund" and do something with it, which she would have wanted,and kick those other Plonkers off it,all they,re doing is wasting it on stupid things which is not what it was meant for. .M.

The media and public reaction in 1997 was insane and cynically used by Blair and co. to bolster New Labour's image.
Hopefully we've got it out of our system once and for all, now.

im with you on this one stella she was a very caring wonderfull person who did a lot for ths contry and the monachy

Im with you there Stella.
Im not a Royalist but I'll always have a soft spot for Diana.

Just to add, I did watch and I thought William and Harry did both their parents proud.
They chose who was invited, music etc and said what they wanted to say about their mum, including that they now hoped everyone would 'look to the future' and let their mum rest in peace.

Jut read your post stella and caught up with the others - mine may seem a little harsh.

But I feel no one is taking away what she had done, but shes not immortal - I really think its time for the 'Dianagate' to rest.

For both her family and everyone else.

She was a figure head - she dragged the Monarchy into this century.

But its ten years on - all shes remembered for on occasions like this is and what is portrayed is her 'media' image - which is why I compare her to Posh and dont really think we should still be greiving.

If her boys want to continue to remember her the best way is to continue with her work and to keep the monachy in touch.

But I for one think national mourning every five or ten years is too much. What will they do next - create a national holiday?

Never liked her,so Im not one to be hypocritical.
I really dont understand it,Her Family Yes,but for the general public who never knew her,I find it very Odd:-(

I would rather take a moment each day to remind myself of the good causes she supported and do what i can to help them .

I think that William and Harry wanted to do this commemoration as an act of closure if I can put it that way.
Now, ten years on, they are grown up and could organise it themselves,it was a way of marking her importance to them personally in public and then getting on with their lives.

I hope now that the media will stop dragging up the past and let all concerned
remember Diana as (and when) they wish to.
In the princes' words as "the best mother in the world" to them. Doesn't matter what anyone else thought of her,I hope my son will think the same about me!

Rosex

Nice sentiment Rose.

Lets hope this is closure...... but I doubt it.
