When Princess Diana died, how long did it take BBC World to first report the story?

I've edited the post. I meant when the car crashed (if I remember correctly she didn't die straight away).


Oh, I beleive that was relativly quickly done, remember there was half the worlds media chasing her at the time. The announcement of her death followed a few hours later on Breakfast Telly.

It's also standard procedure for a news presenter to think "oooh I'll wear black today"


there has been a death.


Do you have a source, or are you just wondering as well?

Sorry if that sounds blunt, but you could be someone simply saying that to heighten the rumours.

I have a source, its not from within a broadcaster but I cant say anymore than that sorry. Hopefully someone else with sources or within broadcasters can post some more news before tomorrow lunch time.

Ladies and Gents there is one major source we are overlooking. Everyone is suitable atired for the announcment of a death. It is not everyday that EVERY channel has black.

You asked everyone to go away and get a life, and to stop clogging up the forum.

Seeing as though you have the most to say on this thread, kindly do us a favour and take your own advice. Many thanks.

In other words, get lost.

Did you know about it before this thread was made?

Sounds fake...
