I think it was the hairdo and sometimes the clothing ... she did not really look like Diana at all but yes sometimes the hairdos were identical and when she went to certain events where she was dressed up very similar clothing to Diana .

My sister went to school with Jill Dando .. such a tragic thing to happen to a beautiful woman .. RIP Jill ❤❤❤❤

[@gardensofthegods]

What did your sister tell you about her ? Did she say she was nice ? The reason I ask is because believe it or not right before I saw this comment I was on another thread and said did anybody think it was strange that they did not have one here one friend from her childhood or from school ? I just thought it was really weird that she didn't seem to have any friends on here other than in the jobs she's worked ?

[@kwesiidun737]

I can remember Jill Dando's death so vividly. I was 7 at the time and used to watch Holiday every week. I remember coming home from school and it being all over the news. It was horrific! Even in school the next day, none of us could believe it. She was a brilliant woman and TV personality who had a human touch, which was rare for presenters at that time. I hope the truth about the circumstances of her death and her assassin come to light soon. It needs to! RIP Jill.

You mean them, ie British Intelligence not a loner next door neighbour who had an obsession with Freddie Mercury. Pretty sure Jill Dando was assassinated because she knew about the Brick Lane nail bombing having been carried out by the intelligent services and not the work or a lone nut bomber, though the bomber, David Copeland, was likely just a patsy.

Paedophile ring at the BBC, Jill knew.

[@markdaly1903]

@SpeedbirdConcorde she was getting death threats prior to being killed and she was rattling the cages of gangland figures. the gun that killed turned up in the Liverpool gangland. a person speaking anonymously who was familiar with the gangland scene said that the hit came from Scotland and that the bullet used in the killing was unusual. these people also targetted the bbc, which is why bbc went lockdown. these people have no fear and as we see from line of duty they have links into most things.

RIP Jill, hopefully one day the truth will be known. Although very likely security services had a lot to do with it, very interesting but sad case.

[@Embracing01]

I do believe British Intelligence where responsible for her murder, it was a cover up. There's an interesting Crimewatch programme where Jill was about to say something to one of the police officers where it's very likely she knew that the Brick Lane nail bombings where not being carried out solely by a lone bomber named David Copeland and that it was an inside job. If she knew the bombings where being carried out by the intelligence services then she would've been trying to expose it, so they had to take her out and blame her murdered on her nextdoor neighbour and give a bogus reason for killing her, thus diverting attention away.

@@tooleyheadbang4239 I don't think the OP made any assumptions as to who did it. Just that people in the UK (whoever they are) aren't ordinarily gunned down in broad daylight walking into their house. If you consider that normal... I hope I don't live anywhere near you! If this had have been in, for instance the US, any weirdo could have done it granted. But in the UK? TLDR The OP was merely stating the obvious, it was most likely an assassination, a conspiracy of some kind.

[@gardensofthegods]

Yes most people believe it was and here's the thing I would like to know . In 1999 were there CCTV cameras on or around her street back then because I've never heard any mention of this ... yet there was plenty of footage showing her in all the different places she went to before she went to her house and also showing her in her car driving to those places and on her way to her house but no CCTV footage of a man who fit the description of the assassin on or around her street ? The neighbor who saw him said he simply walked away down the street
