The last day of the N.H.C. is always the August Bank Monday; Di decided not to wear a seatbelt and so died in the early hours of sunday morning. Most people in the UK were fully aware by midday sunday...and you say you did not find out until tuesday, after the last day of the carnival. Most peculiar.
Yeh I was aware that the Notting Hill Carnival was the weekend before Di's death - but for me both events seem to be associated in my own mind - regardless of the fact that Diane died the Saturday/Sunday morning after, which would have been from the Monday which is the biggest night of the carnival = 6 days!


Glad you awake enough to have recognised this fact!
