I did not really care then and still don't now. A myth has been built around the woman that as with all myths probably bears no actual relationship to reality. She was then and is now the focus of some when they seek a mass outpouring of grief. My only abiding memory of the whole thing was that at the time I was working in Kensington and you could not move without coming across a weeping person, piles of flowers or a man selling quickly produced memorial tat.

I met her once and was kind of mesmerised. The only other famous person to have a similar effect on me was Joanna Lumley. Very beautiful in the flesh so to speak. Overall, the whole thing a bit of a shame. Edited by ASCPFC (30 Aug 2022 6.21pm)

I p$d myself laughing at the 'mourners'.

Yep, it was totally ridiculous. Rich middle easteners should have paid for that funeral as she spent most of the last ten years of her life banging them. English rose my bellend.

As a younger man it's hard not to take offence to this. All the other blokes in my tanning salon and vegan pottery class agree too, one even spilled his soy latte upon hearing this. #cancelstirling.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

She ain't dead. She's living on an island, riding Shergar and drinking cocktails with Elvis, JFK and Lord Lucan. Now that made me laugh - thankyou!

Yeah your probably right. Got the impression she was a bit of an old bike. Not a bike me thinks but she certainly enjoyed a bit of pork!
