Mother Teresa died 5 days after Princess Diana died. I remember because of all the hoopla that surrounded Princess Diana's death - the church service, the funeral procession on TV, the sons walking, etc. Whereas far less time was spent showing Mother Teresa's funeral. Only 2-3 hours versus endless hours for Diana. I was happy that they showed it at all.

that made me furious. my late first husband was in hospital dying and every tv in every room even the ones not being used at the time was tuned in to the “Princess Diana is dead” celebration. it was revolting. i asked them to change the stations, turn the volume down, just turn the damned crap off and they refused.
