Where were you ten years ago?

Ten years to the day which according to a You Guv poll in the Telegraph,89% of people knew where they were,the papers are full of specials on Princess Diana.

Leading them is the Express,unsuprisingly which claims,as it has does consistently that Diana was murdered on its front page.

THE driver of a mystery white Fiat Uno was responsible for Princess Diana’s death, claims the detective who led the inquiry into the crash that killed her.
Jean Claude Mules, who ran the initial French investigation, said his officers found compelling evidence that the car carrying Diana and Dodi Fayed collided with the Fiat seconds before it crashed.

and its leading article says

the Express will continue to probe the circumstances surrounding her death – however unpopular that makes us in the corridors of power.

The Sun drags up an exclusive interview on its front page with one of the pallbearers

Breaking his silence for the first time, he recalled: “I couldn’t help seeing her sons’ faces. That’s a memory that will never leave me. And Charles too, it was unbelievable. It was the greatest and saddest honour I have ever had.”

The Times reflects on

The most poignant sight at today’s service to mark the tenth anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, will be the empty seats.Most prominent among the missing will be the Duchess of Cornwall, who will spend the day with members of her family at Raymill House, Wiltshire, the marital home she held on to after her divorce and which she now uses regularly as a bolt hole from the strains of royal life.

Di's magic still lingers says the voice of the Mirror

It is a tribute to her iconic status that no-one has been able to touch the nation's hearts in the same way.
The Royal Family exists on public goodwill and came close to losing that faith with its ham-fisted reaction to her sudden death in a Paris underpass.

And the praises continue as many mark the anniversary with special features

She blushed, she stumbled, she swore when her Mini wouldn’t start; how very unroyal, and how charming!
Shock horror! — showing emotions; the very thing that would eventually make her the enemy within the family who had thought she was one of them.
That is, a well-bred zombie who would put up with a cold-blooded upper-class deceit such as an arranged, loveless marriage without batting an eyelash or turning a hair.
But as it turned out, she was one of us — a down-to-earth, badly educated girl from a broken home.

says Julie Birchall in the Sun

Born a Princess, died a saint, was one of the many tributes I, and perhaps her grieving sons, read on the frozen ocean of flowers outside Kensington Palace.
Ten days ago, I would have jeered at anyone who suggested that such mawkishly inaccurate sentiments would have been expressed when Diana died.
