Abstract
Presumably, "Where were you when you heard the news about Diana?" will become a significant question in the future; it will become the catalyst for personal experience narratives, contemporary legends, examples of folk poetry and reminiscences and reflections about what changes (if any) her death set in motion. As a folklorist and scholar of contemporary religion, it seems important to me to put down descriptive markers which can be used as raw data in the future.
