#DIANA20
Tributes poured in yesterday for Princess Diana, who died from injuries suffered in a car crash in Paris exactly 20 years ago on 31 August 1997. @danwootton said: “Princess Diana touched everyone she met, no matter how powerful or famous. She moved all these celebs in both life and death. RIP Diana” Pop star @gagamonster96 added “Diana, you’re still in our hearts.” @Londonexplore said: “I can imagine Diana smiling from above and proud of William and Harry. Both wonderful men. Diana left her legacy with us... ” Meanwhile, @piersmorgan said: “First time I ever met Princess Diana. ‘Ah,’ she sighed, ‘the man who thinks he knows me SO well...’ ” @eltonofficial said: “20 years ago today, the world lost an angel.”
#SAVERHS
Edinburgh heritage campaigners had their eyes locked on Twitter feeds, desperate to discover if a controversial new hotel development, that would transform the city’s old Royal High School, would be given the go-ahead. Some were keen for a music school to be built instead. The hotel plan was finally knocked back. @THEAHSS said: “Great to hear perspective of RHS neighbours from Residents Assoc. 3000+ objections from general public” @clairehimiller said: “@jomowat asking very pertinent questions about how a six star hotel guest would travel and arrive at a hotel”
#DEADLINEDAY
The SPFL rumour mill was in full motion, with footie fans up and down the country debating and speculating on which new faces their club might snap up. @Goalgasim said: “Adebayor to St Johnstone? Rumour has it he’s been spotted in the Tesco near Mcdiarmid.” @Rossarmour346 said: “Our priority should not be Jamie Walker before #Deadlineday – we need another striker. Naismith perhaps.” @pellmatt91 said: “Definitely would not want Sammon back at Killie, hope nothing comes of that one!” Meanwhile, @Rpgilf said: “SPFL confirm transfer window in Scotland is cancelled because ginger battles are no longer accepted currency.”
