DIANA'S LEGACY Last night saw a packed Wembly Stadium singing out hit after hit in the honour of Princess Diana. But what is Diana's legacy for you? Do you still miss her? Did you ever miss her? Were you gripped by the grief of the nation when she died nearly 10 years ago? or EXERCISE Can exercise cure a broken heart? More and more women are turning to sport to get over their exes. Is that how you deal with a break up? Are you the sporty type? What's your favourite sports routine if you have one? Is there a cure for a broken heart? If so, what is it?! or TYPES Do you have one? Do you go for the tall, dark and handsome type or are you more attracted to builders and labourers? Do you find that you are too fussy? As time has gone on, have your standards slipped? or CRIME They say that crime never pays, but with forgery-based hoaxes, that maxim has not always rung true. It may even be said that some forgeries ultimately achieve positive outcomes. Can you name some examples where hoaxers or victims may be said to have benefited or the public good has been served because of a deception?

I think the World is a sadder place without Di. No matter what anyone thought of her, she had a way with people less fortunate. She knew how to tune into people. I saw her once in Tunbridge Wells (having a Maccie Dee)...no she opened the precinct. She was so pretty and radiant. She has had criticism over the way she acted at times when with Charley, like throwing herself down the stairs for attention, but, she was married to HIM & that would be enough to throw yourself under a bus I would think. She was treated appallingly by the Queen/family when she died and before and I gave up all support for the Royal family after that. I think Wills is the spitting image of her but is more like a Windsor personality wise, Harry is more like his mum personality wise I think. I believe Harry will carry on his mother's good work.

Exercise didn't cure my broken heart it was the cause. Addicted to it, all those endorphins made me feel so good. Until the break up... gave it up and spread widthways. Tina x

Diana was full of love and compassion for those on the margins - the sick, the disabled, people with AIDS and leprosy. She showed them she cared, she touched the untouchables, she turned out in the middle of the night to visit the dying and hold their hand. Diana was a rebel against the establishment. She could not fit in with the outmoded protocol and stuffy ways of the House of Windsor. She would not lie down and suffer the treatment she got in silence: she spoke out openly in criticism of them. She rejected stiff formality, and behaved like a normal woman and a close loving mother.

Diana went out of her way to give William and Harry the maternal love and support she felt her husband never had. She breast-fed them and insisted on taking William, then just an infant, with her when the couple toured Australia in 1983, a dramatic change in royal-family behavior. She openly hugged them, took them to amusement parks and hamburger joints—just like other kids. When she was with them, her face took on a special glow. No matter what else was wrong with her life, her time with them was serene.
