Nobody knew where to put the flowers

Article Abstract:

The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, has caused many ordinary Britons to genuinely grieve. They have responded by placing flowers at locations which have associations with her, a modern convention which has gradually replaced religious convention as a method of expressing grief. Many people have reacted with hostility to journalists covering her death, believing that excessive media attention was responsible for the car crash in which she died. However, it is important to remember that many ordinary people wanted to feel part of her life.

Britain says goodbye

Article Abstract:

Mourners will be standing 40 or 50 deep along the route which will be taken by the funeral procession for Diana, Princess of Wales. The procession will pass many locations which have significant associations with her, and will revive memories of her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981, the last time such large crowds gathered in the centre of London, England. She cannot be called a saint or an angel, but it is certainly true that she established some sort of private contract with ordinary British people.
