Diana

Just how are we supposed to guess the interest in Diana's death, 10 years on? Should newspapers print a single page on the memorial, or front to back with memories, messages, pictures and so on? Whatever we do, readers will criticise. Either we "won't have shown enough respect" by being too "stingy" with space, or we "have gone well over the top on an outpouring of emotion that is no longer there". Problems, problems... don't we just love 'em? The answer, of course, is blowing in the wind (a candle in the wind?), which in layman's terms is somewhere in between. See tonight's Mail and you will see a strong presence (though not the main presence) on page 1; live news of the memorial on page 4, and then a nine page tribut in words and pictures starting on page 7. Did we get it right? Take a look and let me know!

Lovely woman, beautiful pictures. I don't think you can go too over the top with such a subject, ON THE 10TH ANNIV. The day itself warrants it, but I also think that closes it. Not so much tomorrow or next week.

Sarah Bernard:

I disagree. It's dull. Di's gone.
