Tomorrow, will mark one of the saddest days in history.

Thru all the things going on here in the states and abroad, the world lost a great ambassador August 31, 1997. Princess Diana was killed in that awful car accident in Paris. She was a dynamic woman who showed people how to treat others. Her selflessness never wavered and she helped who ever she could. She showed people how to be dignified no matter the situation or circumstance. She truly was a Princess and Lady all wrapped up into one person. We need more people like her, but there will never be someone like her.

Went to Buckingham palace the next day to see the flood of flowers put outside the gates. The whole next week the UK was such an incredibly somber place to be.

They showed the crowd around the palace. Big grown men just bawling their eyes out.
