1st July: Remembering Diana
Diana, Princess of Wales was born on this day, 1st July, in 1961.
Had she not been killed in Paris, today would have been her 49th birthday.
This blogger will continue to forever celebrate Diana for the genuine goodness that she spread throughout the world as part of her remarkable, compassionate, humanitarian instinct.
In her boys, there is a glimmer of her spirit and much hope...

Dr. David Kelly conspiracy theories re-emerge as Blair wins 'Liberty' medal in U.S.
Like something from The Twilight Zone, try making sense of these two juxtaposed stories in the British mainstream media.
All we can say, first of all, is well done to the Daily Mail for their courage and bravery in printing the first story.
They report on claims by an American female colleague of the late Iraq weapons inspector Dr. David Kelly who, in a letter to our Attorney General Dominic Grieve, she states could not have slashed his own wrists as he was 'too weak'.
She also alleges that Dr. Kelly had difficulty swallowing pills.
Meanwhile, in the States, Tony Blair - the former PM who took us into the Iraq war - has just been awarded the 2010 Liberty Medal and a cash prize of $100,000 reports the Daily Telegraph.
The Daily Express reports on Blair's speech of thanks in which he states: "Freedom, liberty and justice are the values by which this medal is struck. Freedom, liberty and justice are the values which I try to apply to my work on governance in Africa and on preparing the Palestinians for statehood. They are the values which drive the work of my faith foundation as we try to show that people of different faiths can live together constructively in peace and harmony."
It is an award that is likely to baffle many people as much as the rather bizarre awarding of a Nobel Peace Prize to Obama for bringing peace to... absolutely nowhere.
You should see what readers of The Guardian have to say on the matter...
The developments come on the same day that the Chilcott inquiry into the legality and circumstances of the Iraq war recommencedafter a break so as to not interfere with the General Election.
