When I was a Military Policeman

I had the misfortune/pleasure of attending Princess Diana's memorial service at Winchester Cathedral in September 97' (I think most Cathedrals had one at some point)

So there we were, in full numbers 1's watching all these old dears crying and it was then me and my mate noticed all the funeral booklets (I'm sure they have a proper name, but can't remember) at the back of the church.

Well when everyone had left we grabbed a load of them (about 20 each) these things were lovely, patterned card outer and watermarked pages inside, with all the words in from the proper funeral at Westminster Abbey including all the songs and poems etc...

So obviously these slowly filtered onto ebay early on this decade, it's amazing what Americans and Chinese will pay for a bit of paper.

My best one sold at over £200 from what I remember.

Cheers Diana you really were the Queen of my heart, and helped me out of a lot of shit.


Regards
Kip

All coppers are bent
I heard the ones signed love Diana when for a few thousand each.

EDIT: Oh click BTW

She
came back from the dead to autograph plates?

Still, it's probably the only worthwhile thing she ever did.

Like fuck she did
She showed up at some african village for all of five minutes and this makes her a hero?

Get to fuck, you mannish, inbred, long-time dead, waste of space bitch.

Anyone fancy digging her up and spit-roasting her with me?

@bert
Again?

I think twice is more than enough, plus the last time some wire snapped and her left hip landed about 30 foot away.

She can be a right selfish lover sometimes.

Memorial tat
When my brother got his PhD, we all trooped along to witness the spectacle, and at the same ceremony JK Rowling was given an honorary DPhil or somesuch.

I took away about a dozen of teh running order booklets, planning on selling them along with a photo of the event.

However, my pictures were all shit, and none of them were discernable as her. Bugger.

Still, thinking about it, I wonder if they would sell on eBay as they are? hmmm...

At least someone got
something worthwhile out of it.
Just DON'T mention her again, it makes me nauseous thinking of that revolting circus surrounding her demise.
*clicks anyway*
