      These are called flashbulb memories :) they happen after major historical moments that are culturally significant. You can ask most people where they were when they found out about 911 and they can describe it down to tiny details. Sometimes these things will help differentiate between generations- Millenials will remember 9/11 but Gen Z will often have been too young

    I was 30 years old when this news broke. I remember sitting at a bar in a hometown nightclub in Western New York. It was still a Saturnday night here in the States. The television was on behind the bar and I saw the news bulletein sometime between 10pm and 11pm. The announcer talked about the accident in Paris and Diana being seriously injured. i remember the volume of the TV was muted so people could hear the juke box in the bar. The closed captioning of the TV was on and i remember at some point the closed captioning changed from "Princess Diana has been seriously injured" to "Princess Diana has died". I remember letting out an audible gasp and the tears starting welling up. I was not the only one to have that reaction. Many people around me were in shock and quite emotional when they heard this dreadful news. I immediately began thinking of a lovely, mid summer morning in July 1981 when I purposely woke up at 4AM to watch a young, beautiful, radiant girl's fairytale royal wedding on television. I was just 14 yrs old then. I, like the rest of the world, fell in love with this lovely and compassionate young lady. I just couldn't believe she was gone. It felt like, still does, that the world lost a beautiful bright light of hope and fell a bit darker when she left it that terrible night in 1997. I feel very fortunate that I lived my youth and young adulthood in a time when she walked this earth.

The way it happened, how young and beautiful she was, that she had two young kids, and the drama of her separation from an heir to the throne, it was all just so was shocking. People like Diana are not supposed to die early; she was known by more people around the globe than perhaps anybody else has ever been. It maybe selfish to say, but she had so much more to give this world. It was truly a sad tragedy and just a terrible terrible loss.

    The irony is that many of Harry's harshest critics are the very same people who adored his mother. If you loved Diana, Harry's decision to leave should be easy to understand and "Say no more, were behind you" is the appropriate response.

Watching the funeral was very hard, seeing her son's following her and people in the crowd were crying and calling her name. The outpouring of emotion in the week following her death and up to the funeral was something I'd never experienced before and won't ever forget.

    I’m older than most here. There were only two cases (in my lifetime anyways) of death of famous celebrities when I literally stopped doing whatever I was doing and cried like if a member of my own family had died: December 8, 1980 and August 30 1997. Both tragic, both British, both personal to me. People whom I never met in person, not even in a public event…yet their impact in our lives were so big, so great and so positive, their passing, specially so young and in such tragic manner was unbearable.
    For context, I was 16 when Lennon died, and last year 40 years! after his dead, I was 16 years OLDER than the age he was when he died. For Diana, I still remember vividly 1981 the wedding day, even though I didn’t care for monarchy…but she was so beautiful, so gracious and so NORMAL! It was then surreal to me that less than 20 years after, she was gone. Took me a while to come to terms with the reality…

    I remember coming down to breakfast on the Sunday morning and switching on the TV, the first thing we saw was Martin Lewis announcing her death and the caption 1961-1997 on the screen. I was too shocked at first to even speak and I turned to my mother and she was equally shocked. We sat and watched the events unfold for about 5 minutes before the shock wore off and the sadness hit home. We gave each other a hug and then I went off into another room and for some reason I just went down on one knee like I'd been winded. After a few minutes I went back into the living room and continued to watch the coverage. All normal TV programming on any channel was suspended and I think all sporting events were as well. I will never forget the national anthem being played over the video of the union jack at half-mast every 20-30 minutes after the latest news update from Paris had finished. A terrible day.

    I remember her death as if it was yesterday. The whole week leading upto her funeral was so immensely sad. I remember being in a packed tough pub with my mates. The Queen made a speech from Buckingham Palace. The whole pub fell into total and utter silence to listen to her. When she finished the whole pub broke out into applause.
    It really was a surreal week

    I remember it so well. I was asleep when the phone rang. My mom woke me up to tell me that my sister had called to tell me about the news. She knew how much I loved Diana. I turned on CNN and at that point they were still reporting that she was injured. I assumed that her injuries were minor and went back to bed. I got up the next morning and turned on the TV and the first thing I saw was "the death of Princess Diana". I couldn't believe it, I burst into tears and sat watching CNN for the rest of the day. She was 1 year younger than me and I just couldn't comprehend that someone so young and who did so much good for so many had died.

    I had gotten up at 4.30 to go-to work for 6am. I saw the news come on and say she'd been in an accident, I went and got ready for work came back with a cup of coffee at about 5.30 and the newsreader Nicholas Owen was handed a piece of paper and his face dropped, he then said that she had died. At first I thought, no can't be, then he said it again and if I'm honest I sat and cried. I went to work and they were playing candle in the wind on the radio and a work colleague said to me " why are they playing this song over and over " I said because of Princess Diana. What about her ? she said, so replied that she'd been killed and she wouldn't believe me, then radio presenter said it and she just stood crying her eyes out. One thing Diana had and that was the sympathy and love of the British public.

    My dad's rich boss's wife had 2 Diana porcelain dolls, complete with a few of her statement ballgown.
    One stayed in the box, and one was to play with! She and I played with the doll talking about Diana.
    I was allowed to watch Mad TV on Saturday nights and was once again playing Barbies when these announcements kept interrupting the programs. I think I learned what "internal injuries" meant just from the news broadcasts.
