What were you doing when you found out that Princess Diana had died?

Answer 1

I was watching TV and flipping through different news stations. It was around 7 PM and I was almost 15 at the time.

Answer 2

Answering a phone call from a friend who was phoning to tell me that Princess Diana had died.

Answer 3

I was coming out of the shower preparing to go to Anfield to watch Liverpool versus Newcastle Utd, when the phone rang and I was informed the match had been cancelled due to Diana's death. Like many people I turned on the news and watched Tony Blair's tearful response, when he famously called her the "People's Princess."

Answer 4

I was just mucking out my horses, and I had the radio on in the stables. I remember thinking '' the b a s tards have finally got her'', because the news said the accident had been caused by the paperazzi

Answer 5

Sitting with a crowd of college buddies at a coffee house.

First, the news came across that she had be in a wreck and broke her leg. A bit later that she was somewhat more seriously injured and then, an hour or so later, that she was dead.

Funny, I think we all now know she was almost certainly instantly killed.

Answer 6

Me and my then girlfriend had just woken up with horrific hangovers to be greeted with mournful music on the radio. I remember there was a thunder storm as well. It was moving, if you are into that kind of thing

Answer 7

oh, i remember this very well! I was in a shop looking at the magazines that all said princess Di was going to be buried that and that day and I remember thinking.... but she isn't dead, is she?

Answer 8

Around 10:30pm, a news wire came across the TV screen saying she was hurt in a car crash.
The next moring, I retrieved the paper from the porch and the front page said it all.
I woke my husband to show him the paper.
We both were stunned

Answer 9

It was very weird. I was sleeping. I never kept the TV on in our bedroom after I went to bed. I certainly never even turned it to CNN. That night, my xhusband had come in and changed it to CNN after I went to sleep. He then left the room and went elsewhere, leaving the TV on. I am a very deep sleeper. I woke up when the reports started coming across on CNN. It was eerie and unreal.

Answer 10

Waking up when the radio came on. Was wondering why they were playing sad, crappy, depressing music then found out.
