"Happy Birthday Princess Diana"

[Milllii]

Just that really. She would have been 54 today.

In The News? Really? Even the Daily Express has dropped Diana from their front pages these days.

I don't think "Happy Birthday" wishes to any person who's been dead for over a decade can ever be appropriate. It's just wrong.

Ive just read it too. I loved her back in the day.

I don't think its inappropriate. Lots of news sites are referring to today being her birthday.

It is my birthday today and I can remember my 16th. Not old enough to go to pubs but too old for child stuff.
I saw the wonderful party arrangements for her 21st birthday and was so envious and wished I was her with her lovely grand party.
Every year the celebrations were mentioned on tv and I was still envious she was having much more fun than me.
When she died I had a short sharp shock in the realisation that being envious and wanting what others had wasn't always wise.
She was a lovely beautiful person in life.
Now she is gone and we should remember her, but birthdays die along with the person
I hope she is RIP.

Happy Birthday morethan.
I don't think that just because a person has died that we ever forget their birthdays though.

personally I think that's just odd. It's not as if a 54th birthday is a special one. Do people commemorate the birthday of someone they don't know and who's been dead for years often

Well the media do if it was someone newsworthy. Estee Lauders birthday today too and there is an article wishing her a Happy Birthday. Michael Jacksons soon. I think its nice that people are still remembered.

I do get a slight jolt though, when I realise how much time has passed and how old she would be.

And also I was horrified when I realise I was now older than she was when she died.

Potato, you shouldn't have been envious of those birthday parties. She had a very sad life and lots of problems emotionally. Don't think the money made up for that really.

I also think it's a bit odd to with someone a happy birthday when they're dead and can't enjoy a happy birthday.

Having said that, I would remember people on their birthday and think of them but I wouldn't wish them a happy birthday.
