Diana's departure grips Britain

Sanjay Suri writes from London
A Dianamania has gripped Britain. A week after her funeral. mourners across the country refuse to let go of her.
Elton John, whose song Candle in the Wind' has become the most played and replayed song in the past week, appealed to Britain to end the mourning. "Life has to go on." he said yesterday. "I dont think Princess Diana would want this sadness to continue." He said: "You have to grieve and you have to move on?
But his words did little to stop the flow of mourners, their tears and their flowers. Traffic tarns built up again around lensington Palace where she lived. The London Underground had to keep mourners outside the High Street Kensington station because mourners overflowed from the platforms below.
After England beat Maidova 4-0 in a football match, the headline In a tabloid read: They did it for Her " Before the match began the capacity crowd
of 75,000 at Wembley stadium observed a minute's silence and then sang - what else - Candle in the Wind. There seems no early end in sight to what one commentator called a "grievathon."
The messages left for Diana outside Buckingham Palace are believed to have crossed a million. Workers from a charity have begun to collect them. They will not be thrown away. That collection and compila tion is set to be a long haul. An appeal to donate money to the Princess Diana appeal fund rather than bring flowers to the palaces in London seems to have been ignored. Long queues were still forming to sign the 43 condolence books kept for Diana. The waiting time a week*, after the funeral was in excess of an hour.
At Althorp estate, the home of the Spencer family in Northamptonshire. Diana's brother Earl Spencer made another appeal to the people not to bring flowers Most did not. but
they keep turning up every day in thousands, just to look at the closed gates of the family estate and feel nearer to Diana s grave than they were from home.
The crowds around this estate were becoming hard to manage. The time has come when we have to wrap this up." the local Vicar said in an appeal to the mourners.
But many came to give her brother's sentiments a political push. Earl Spencer has received about 40.000 letters so far backing his appeal made during the service for Diana at Buckingham Palace for a right to privacy
The rush outside Kensington Gardens is so great that many cannot even reach near the sea of flowers outside the gates. Thousands have been lighting candles under trees all around the gardens.
The Department Of Culture has been asked to clear the flowers.
