I can't explain the grief we saw after Diana's death.
Perhaps some people have never experienced the untimely death of someone they knew personally, and like JFK, or Elvis, because of the media, felt some connection to a person they never knew.
Like I said, it was all very odd to witness, but can't imagine it happening again. |
I never cried about Diana - felt shocked but it never turned to tears. Witnessed the phenomena of fields of flowers outside the palace and saw people lining Whitehall and Westminster the night before her funeral, setting up sleeping bags and camping cookers etc so they could have a few comforts while they waited.
It's easy to explain the grief; she was a member of the Royal Family that's why - and due to her "cute" factor and the few things she did for charity etc - she became a talisman for all the martyrs across the land! - to vent their grief in floods of tears and bouquets of flowers.
