An argumentative married couple ponder their lives and lost son as they wait for Princess Diana's funeral cortege. With Toby Jones and Imelda Staunton.

Martha and Graham look back over their lives together but their very different views on Diana mask a far more personal conflict, and Graham's dislike of the princess has its roots in his pain over the circumstances of their son Alan's death.
