Ten Years On......
Aww I do miss Diana, I remember I was in bed on a Sunday morning and Alan had to go into work, he called me as he heard the news on the radio. I promptly burst into tears. I loved to see her on TV and in magazines. I was very lucky to have met her when I was 19 - she was beautiful. I also got to meet Paul Burrell in June this year. I know many people thought he was a toerag for writing his books I did and I told him so (oops!) I did tell him that when I read his book I changed my opinion. Talking to him I was so struck by how very devoted he was and still is.
I thought the service today hit all the right notes. By the way if you haven't seen "The Queen" with Helen Mirren in it, you should, it really sheds so much light on the whole story and why the Royal Family chose to stay at Balmoral. At the time I was livid that the family didn't return to London, but it was the best thing for the Princes at the time, and it was awful how the Queen was criticised then.
5 years ago this very day my little boy Alex was born, so we have celebrated today.

I distinctly remember that day as well. There was much going on in my life, medically, and I was restricted to bedrest. My mother, bless her heart, was spending that time keeping me occupied and entertained. We both sat there, absolutely stunned, even from this side of the pond.
Diana was a beautiful woman who made an indelible mark on the world.
