I HAVE never in my whole life seen the Kingdom in such absolute unity.
For one day, it did not matter what colour, religion or even class you came from, just that you also felt the grief of the loss of our Princess.
What moved me the most was the way our people gathered together and stood as one nation, grieving for one person who touched so many hearts.
It was a day that I will never forget and I'm sure nobody else will - a beautiful day that really celebrated the life of Diana and the work that she did.
Never have I been so proud to call myself British.
E BELL, Sutton Avenue, Burnley.
