"You can swim in the ocean, and drown in a bathtub. You can skydive casually and safely from an aircraft hundreds of times and then stumble down the stairs.

Forever our number 20 ❤️
Charles Spencer @cspencer1508 will tell the story of Diana, Princess of Wales, in a memoir, Swang Song: Diana, My Sister, on Diana’s early life, marriage and death, published next month. “As with my eulogy, I want to speak on Diana’s behalf and do so in an openly positive way.”

If we're rewriting football history now, I have a small suggestion:

And while we're at it, we might as well replay the final against Brazil.
