Two policemen have been criticised for offering the programme from Princess Diana’s memorial service for sale on eBay. The twelve page orders of service were listed within hours of the service, marking the tenth anniversary her death on 31st August. One of the officers has received “words of advice” about his conduct, and the other, who is currently on leave, “will be spoken to in due course”. A Metropolitan Police statement said that officers would be given more explicit guidance “about what is expected of them when policing public events.” The most important point, I would have thought, being that if you’re going to sell something that might be a bit sensitive, get someone else to list it for you.
