It has been said that everybody still knows where they were and what they did when they heard the news of the death of John F. Kennedy.
Maybe it is the same with the death of Diana?

I was in Switzerland at the time.

When I switched on the TV one morning, the screen was just black
And in this blackness there was a message.
Just 2 lines.
Diana's name and title.
And then below:
* 1. 7. 1967 - + 31. 8. 1997

No further information and no sound.
The screen stayed that way for some time.
It was impressive.
And it was clear: Princess Diana was no more ....

Zitat

Everyone remembers where they were. A startling wake up call on a warm Sunday morning telling us that, while the lights were out, the most famous woman in the world had passed away.

Today we might receive a breaking news alert to our smartphones in the dead of night, wake to discover dozens of unread messages in a WhatsApp group, or check Twitter in case there was indeed something we had missed.

But to reflect on the time when Princess Diana died is to go back to a simpler time, despite being in living memory for most. The avalanche of digital media had yet to come crashing into our lives, burying us under an anxious blanket of constant communication, fear of missing out and an inexplicable desire to reply first to a total stranger’s unsolicited opinion. It was a time when most regular people were contactable only by a landline telephone.

Exactly.
Those were the times.

Who remembers as well?

I ask again ...

Late in the evening?

I ask again: Where have you been that day?
