Was there any ceremony for Sky Two to it or did it just disappear from the airwaves?

Hang on, let's not shoot to kill here. AIUI wasn't Sky Two's last day in 1997 also that of the death of Princess Diana? Granada Talk TV definitely ceased broadcasting on 31 August 1997, and while I can't tell you how Sky Two closed down, I think they started up with the audio from the Diana church service taking place as they came on air.

Sky Two lasted exactly a year from Sept 1st 1996 (with a X Files night) to Aug 31st 1997.
