The crowds reflect
| "This death has been a shock. It has obviously been a terrible accident, cutting down a young life far too soon. But its more than that. It has caught us unprepared. We had not realised what Diana had meant to us. It had not dawned that her spirit was so important to us, that it had spoken to us. We failed to recognise, how valuable she was when she was with us, as we should have. Of course, hardly any of us here today actually met her. But we saw her often in our homes, and felt close to her. It was because she had the common touch. Most of her life was lived a million miles from us in lifestyle, and the company she kept. But when she met with folk like us, she was not aloof, not distant. She too seemed to have been a victim, seemed to be vulnerable. So she was ready to touch us, and we were ready to be touched. Literally, she had the common touch. So, we thank God for her. And we commit our grief and loss to God, in whom all may be made well." |  |
