A Historic Event

I was driving my way home from Paris, I drove off the ferry quite late, I switched on the radio as i drove off, And i never will forget the date. They started to talk about Paris, Where I’d been just the day before, An accident in a deep tunnel, Where i’d driven, I was pretty sure. So tired i slept in the car, soon, A car park off the beaten track, Woke up around eight in the morning, Before I began the drive back. The news just got sadder that morning, As the radio I switched back on, I just really couldn’t believe that, The most famous princess had gone. There have been many theories what happened, An Accident, conspiracy? Just a sad night for the whole of the world, But I still thought, it could have been me! The event: The death of Princess Diana, 31st August 1997 22 September 2020 A historic event contest Sponsor: William Kekaula

BIG CONGRATS RICHARD to win TOP. That tragic event History will never forget and I am sure that it was a conspiracy. And as I have gone through life-history of Princess Diana, I cherish great admiration for her. I have deep respect for the great generous lady. She turned a victim.

At that moment, I was running the front desk, updates were caused by the bell staff via the maids, yet yours, Richard, a bit more impressive--shocking end of a near to Cinderella life--'twas your end to it that won me over, blessings my friend on your honorable placement, Aloha! William
