I must admit to being frankly perplexed by the whole Diana anniversary thing.
It’s been ten years. She’s dead. It’s sad, but surely by now you should have built a bridge and gotten over it?! That after this length of time you can still fill Wembley stadium with people to commemorate her (although the cynical part of me says that perhaps some of the people may have been there solely because there were some good acts performing), and that it gets top story on the news for several days running, seems to me to show a disappointing misdirection in the communal psyche. She did some worthwhile things, and died tragically early, but you don’t see this kind of thing for dead Nobel peace laureates, or rock stars or (god forbid) politicians/diplomats/scientists etc who’s works actively improved everyday life…
