Can I just say, the night of the crash
I was at a house party that was just winding down (someone had the idea to put on that Sylvester Stallone film Cliffhanger). Everyone was stoned and/or pissed and the video stopped and the TV went onto ITV - where it was in the middle of an extended live newsflash... "Diana has been in a car crash in Paris and has broken her leg... blah blah she's not dead" (paraphrasing somewhat, but that was the definite line the news outlets were taking at the time - specifically the broken leg bit). I vividly remember it because I authoritatively announced that we were actually watching Brass Eye and was surprised and mesmerised when it turned out to be real!
I was even more surprised when, the following morning, I found out she was dead!
