Caturday Art: Remembering England's Rose

It's impossible to believe that 17 years have gone by since that awful Saturday night Americans watched the news of Princess Diana's death in a Paris car crash. (Because of the time difference, the British people didn't know the tragic news until morning.) I remember that weekend so well because on Sunday I had tickets to a concert in New York state that I had been looking forward to for months. I never spent too much time thinking about car accidents but I found myself petrified that day at the thoughts of a long road trip.

Our artwork today is in honor of England's Rose, Princess Diana...

    The woman remembers she was watching a movie with her then fiance on video and it ended and they had the regular television with the news about the "Late Princess Diana"... and it was terribly shocking.

    Wow I cannot believe it has been that long either. I was watching TV with my Mom and Dad that night, we were just shocked. You did a beautiful job with Miss Truffles' photo today :)

    Very hard to believe it's been so long. I live in the UK and I did hear the news on TV at around midnight here. I was watching some movie on TV and it was interrupted to give us the breaking news that she had been involved in a car crash. I was shocked but hoped she'd pull through, but then the news broke that she had died. Poor Diana. She was so young too.

    That's a lovely photo and thanks for including it in our Caturday Art hop :)
