Ant-Shimmin Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Watching the concert now, quite enjoying it, however it brings me onto a question.. Where were you when Diana died? I was about 6 at the time and I remember my mates Birthday party at Filbert Street (Leicester City's Old Football Ground) being Cancelled, school was called off and My Mum was in tears. It's only now you understand what she did for people.. Lovely Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Jesus, thinking about it now, was I only 10 at the time?! I had a wedding to go that morning, but I wasn't feeling too well. I think I woke up at 8 oclock in the morning (might have been 10) and I came downstairs to watch some tv. Put some random channel on, saw it was the news, but didn't really pay attention. I switched it over to look for cartoons and couldn't find anything that wasn't news. I watched it for about 10 seconds or so before the newsreader said "once again, Diana, Princess of Wales has died..." and my eyes just widened. Ran upstairs to tell my Mum (she was a big supporter of Diana), she was still sleeping, but then as soon as I told her she came running down to see what had happened. Very strange day, will never forget that. They all went off to the wedding, but didn't stay for long. I stayed home and just watched the news all day.

Platty Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I was 13 at the time and in bed. All I can remember is my mum waking me up telling me to put my tv on and watch the news. Think we watched the news all day. Been watching some of the concert, Not many great acts but still it's a good day out for the people that are there and at least the sun is shining. It's all about the Quo later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyking87 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I was nine I remember waking up and comming downstairs and my mum was in her dressing gown and was stunned watching the news. Was too young to know what had happened though, but Mum really liked her and still does Im sure BTW Why is there fuck loads of empty seats? Was it not free or something?

darksnowman Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Are Muse appearing at that concert? Didnt Diana die in the morning? I was in bed as far as I mind, my sister came up and told me... I wasnt overly worried/ she coulda been joking/ Diana might not actually have died or whatever and I went back to sleep for an hour. School started the next day, I think it was Second Year cos I'm fairly certain of who my form teacher was that year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshMat Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Are Muse appearing at that concert? No: http://concertfordiana.com/performers/index.asp Why do i get the feeling Diana probably didn't, or wouldn't like Pharell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Thanks Ash, I woulda known if Muse were set to be there - but that little piece of news could just as easily have slipped under my radar. Atleast I know now that I'm not missing anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog-amoto Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I was 19 and pissed off that my then gf woke me up to tell me. Couldn't have given a toss to be honest, there are much worse tragedies in this world than the death of one person who is not directly connected with you no matter who that person is.

Strider Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 FFS i just typed a whole buddy paragraph out then hit backspace by accident on my keyboard :S Anyway, i can't remember where i was when i heard the news, i know that it didn't bother me as at the age i was i knew very little about the royals (Except the Queen). I do however remember the 2 mintues silence which i think was on a Saturday afternoon. I got bored and went outside to play on my new skateboard as i didn't really get what the big fuss was about. Well i was only a child at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxigen_Waste Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I was not caring about her death. She's as insignificant as any other member of royalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Mr. Bauer made an appearance. I was at home, I was only young but I remember being quite sad for some reason, as I didn't actually know who she was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 She's the only member of the royal family that has ever been worth a damn. My mom liked her, there was a whole "Diana Week" on TV, meaning that I didn't get to watch power rangers for a week. Bastards. I think I was about 8.

EEVILMURRAY Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Just tuned in, I think Joss Stone is on, lovely purple hair. However someone seems to have glued her eyes shut. OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES YOU BINT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfox Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 The concert looks a bit shit/ Plenty of empty seats and very little atmosphere... Anyway, her death didn't greatly affect me. I guess I didn't know what she had done, nor am I (or my family) are a massive supporter of the Royals so it didn't really bother us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh_gamer Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I think i was 9 or 10, and I was in the lounge having my breakfast, when I heard about it on the news. My mum was annoyed with me, as I hadn't woken her up to tell her about it. Concert is pretty meh. The Feeling were cool, along with the Supertramp guy and Stick Together by Bryan Ferry was catchy. Will watch the Quo and Rod Stewart later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letty Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I was 5 or 6, sitting at the kitchen table drawing a picture with the tv on. I wasnt really paying attention though, and my mum came downstairs (it was the morning), and asked why Diana was on tv. So I said that she'd died, and mum was like, 'lol, nice joke..' Then she watched some more and was all, : o! I dont think I cared at all though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
