Don't even pretend that this is a legitimate criticism of the press. They will not get one extra cent over their weekly checks for covering the funeral - with the family's permission. This is legitimate news, just like the funerals of many famous and prominent people. There is going to be a private ceremony at the Spencer family's home as well, and there probably won't be a Paparazzi on the ground for miles. Unfortunately, they'll probably be in the air. I hope the RAF is practicing helicopter herding techniques now. If there are any press there, it will be most likely Harry Benson or someone else from a legitimate news source and the family will be glad he/she is there. >Additionally, the accident pix got offers of > $ 1 million yesterday, and >nobody has been crying on the recent Di/ Dodi kissing picture - quite >opposite, most were happy about the good royal news ...
