I was at home watching the news but figured she'd died a few hours earlier, like others have said.
Like SharonA, I was also on the way to the airport when I heard about Princess Diana, but it was Manchester Airport.
They were sad events but I never felt any sort of outpouring of grief, or any of the other gubbins that was spouted by people. No queueing to see the Queen lying in state, although just by coincidence, we were in London at the time visiting friends in Greenwich. That was a bit disruptive for us. How dare Her Maj cause such trouble. The queues weren't as long as was made out folks. Well they were, but if people had queued more orderly they would only have been half of what was said. They were well spread out. But it's good for media if they say the queue went for miles.

I was in Kenya when Diana died - I watched the early morning news with disbelief. Despite the hotel being full of people of all nationalities, the restaurant that morning was silent during breakfast. No one spoke and when her funeral was broadcast, just two people stayed lounging around the pool. Again silence.
Our car was stopped at a road block just after she died and once the rather serious looking policeman realised we were English, instead of demanding passports etc., he simply said 'I am sorry for your princess' - and waved us on.
International mourning? I don't know, but the effect was palpable. Quite extraordinary.
