I'd like to see more of this. I notice Martin Stanford not wearing a black tie! How long did Burley and Martin Stanford stay on air that morning?


There's much more of it on Sky News active at the moment.

Not sure how long they stayed on air, but Kay joined Martin just after 5am, but he stayed for a while longer.


Would someone be able to YouTube it for those without Sky?


Its almost 2 hours long.


Didn't think it was that long!

Why on earth isn't Skynews broadcasting Diana's Memorial Mass?


Yes shocking given their coverage back in '97. Smacks of cheapness.

How is the sky active coverage of 1997 going? I watched it for about an hour this morning, by then Kay had turned up and Diana had died. Is this on a loop, or are they broadcasting the whole of 31st August 1997? I want to sit down and watch it later.

Because they didn't want to pay for the coverage of it:

The news channel is not showing live coverage of the Diana memorial service today but is airing reports and tributes about the anniversary of her death.

The Princess Diana service of thanksgiving is however being aired on BBC1, BBC News 24, ITV1, CNN, Fox and EuroNews. Sky News decided not to pay to run the event.

According to that article last night they inadvertantly broadcast those pictures of Diana injured in the car

Yes they did show that picture. I saw it on the CBS Evening News last night having just tuned in after watching 1984 on Sky Movies. It was quite shocking - shows how edited that photo on Channel 4 was.

Is it going to be uploaded to youtube for the benefit of those that don't have active!?

They never requested access to the BBC events feed! Idiots!

Because it's a tiresome reminder of a very boring, and very dead woman?

Does anyone know of any sites where the photos/news reports featuring them could be seen?
