August 5, 20224 yr 6 hours ago, MickyD said: It was never posted as a ghoulish murder anniversary per se but as a reminder of a point in time that I was shocked was 20 years ago. But is it really any different than posting an anniversary of, say, the Challenger explosion or 9/11? Anniversaries of a point in our lives where most folk would recall where they were and what they were doing. well I did Fulham (a) as for today Maryiln Monroe died 60 years ago today those Chilean miners got stuck for 69 days in 2010 Neil Armstrong was born in 1930 the first electric traffic light was set up in Cleveland Ohio, only had red and green, no amber
August 31, 20224 yr Author And today marks the 25th anniversary of the death of The People’s Princess. Hope I’m ok to post about a memorable point on my life’s timeline.

On a brighter note, 47 years ago today i started at big school. They had pissed about with the holidays that year 1975 and first day back was Aug 4th. I remember that ! 4th August, my birthday only ever time I had to go to school on the day.

August 31, 20224 yr Something similar. Heard it as I got up and it certainly switched the brain on rapidly. All a bit too much today though, a bit mawkish.
August 31, 20224 yr as for anniversarys only 11 days till the best one and all the good TV that comes with it
August 31, 20224 yr Author Newsreaders this morning telling us how disgusting it was to have Diana’s sons walking behind the coffin. Thing is, have they only just realised? Why wasn’t the same disgust shown 25 years ago or on each of the 23 previous anniversaries? It’s as if it became fashionable to be upset about the past. Oh, yeah, that!

It's been brought up time and time again for years. You'll probably ask this question again on the 30th anniversary.

Saved a penalty 25 years ago today. Great save down to the bottom right. Then the bastard's scored off the corner. Spent the day listening to Be Here Now and went to the Boundary Stone head to toe in Bolton gear- pub was completely decked out in Man Utd carpets, pictures... I had a Stella. Mad what you can remember

August 31, 20224 yr Returning from camping in the lakes with an epic hangover. My mate was driving and every station was just playing sad music and he lost it and went off on a big rant. He then shoved a rock anthems CD on full blast, might have been a tape even as his car was a shed.
August 31, 20224 yr Can't remember the time but it was late when reports started to come in. It must have been about 2 am before I went to bed. It was wall-to-wall coverage on the news channel but no reports of her death, but I do seem to remember the BBC were saying Dodi had died.
August 31, 20224 yr I had one of those “Princess on Board” stickers in the back window of my car. I made a note that day not to drive through tunnels in Paris

August 31, 20224 yr It’s not that I didn’t care but Bradford, Hillsborough and 9/11 had more impact on me because they involved everyday folk Diana simply entrenched my hatred of the paparazzi/tabloids and the folk who lapped up their pictures/stories
August 31, 20224 yr We were staying at a caravan near Lytham but had been to visit my folks in Howfen on the Saturday night. I walked up to that paper shop near the market to hall and got my dads papers, Sunday at people and a sports paper that the MEN used to do think it was called pink on Sunday (might have to imagined that). Anyway i walked back looking at the back pages, got back, slapped the papers down and my dad said what's that say about Di & Dodi,? (Wasn't the headline). Drove back over towards Lytham and took kids to Blackpool pleasure beach and it was closed due to the Di incident.
August 31, 20224 yr Sure it was early hours in the morning as I heard it in a taxi coming home from Hawthorns as I was getting out at a girls house I’d pulled in there it nearly ruined it when she heard it , was all upset and everything. not that I was cold hearted and didn’t care like, but not just at that moment .
