Mass hysteria in the media, nowhere else.
I'd been to a nightclub that night and unfortunately didn't pull a girl - so I came back home and listened to the radio.
It alternated between Diana is dead, no she's alive, lizards did it, no she's dead again, etc etc.
The next morning all the TV stations were playing the sombre music and I was bored so I went to the local park in Cheltenham (Sandford Park). I was walking along and I saw a girl who looked a bit pissed off. I had nothing to lose, so I asked if she was missing the TV or missed Diana? She said it was the former, so we decided to go the pub. We had a pretty good night.
There was no mass hysteria unless you lived in an old peoples home or were in media and had to rewrite your playlists.
- DanBC 11y agoSeveral million people visited London to leave flowers and stuffed toys. There were an estimated 60 million flowers - 10 to 15 tons, and they took 6 weeks to clear withthe help of volunteers. http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/9709/11/diana.flowers/ http://edition.cnn.com/WORLD/9709/11/diana.flowers/ Here's a video of the flowers: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1H1ToOAAsNg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1H1ToOAAsNg Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't exist. Edit: and you're not going to see it in Sandford Park. The pump room gardens was a lot more sombre. ;-)
