An iconic day

So i'm finding it impossible to avoid the Diana concert. At least I'm a day late so I'm not having to set in motion some bizarre series of events which would have seen me strapped into a chair without a remote control actually watching it, or even worse, actually being whisked off to Wembley to be there.

Just read this on the BBC website. I always thought that the bbc was meant to be a trustworthy source of (almost) unbiased news rather than some fawning advert for the royal family.

The article is a joke from start to finish. How often can she use the word iconic? and the end piece?!

But, after a video tribute by Nelson Mandela, it was Diana herself who brought the evening to a poignant close.

Never-seen-before home movie footage of her as a child was shown on the giant screens that flanked the main stage.

The audience, many in tears, watched images of Diana's christening and her first birthday party, to a soundtrack of Freddie Mercury singing Those Were the Days (Of Our Lives).

It was a memorable end to a memorable day for an unforgettable icon.

Sounds Awful.
