Lady Diana

Hi and welcome to my pages to remember Lady Diana Spencer. I am writing this page exactly one year to the hour when Lady Diana died in a car crash in Paris. After one year it still hurts me that she is no longer with us. I like many others around the world have been grieving over her death and like many others around the world will remember her today and many days to follow.

Then the news was told to me is still so clear in my head. I was woken by the telephone at about 7am on the Morning of 31st August 1997. It was my best mate Mark Preston. He had got up early for an event and had heard the news on the Radio. Knowing how much I admire Diana, he telephoned me to break the news. I did not want to bring myself to believe him, I thought I was in a dream, but as I switched the TV on with the remote from my bed I began to learn how true it really was. The girl of my dreams had died in Paris.

Lady Diana entered this world one day before me on the 1st July 1961. Like most of us, I came aware of her in 1980 when she started to hit the headlines. She looked great. I always wanted to meet her, but sadley this was not to happen. I did however watch her past me one her way to get married in July of 1981. Some friends and I slept on the pavement on the corner of fleet street to watch the Royal Wedding. Like Diana we were all very happy on that day.

So what of these pages. Only to share with you all some pictures of Diana and for us all to remember her and what she did do for us all. Please do re-visit these pages as I will be added more to these pages from time to time.

The Bodyguard's Story Trevor Rees-Jones

This is a first-hand account of the crash that killed Diana, Princess of Wales, its causes and its consequences, by the bodyguard who survived it. As bodyguard to Diana's companion, Dodi Fayed, Trevor Rees-Jones was with the couple as their friendship developed during the weeks before their arrival in Paris, and was in the car with them when it crashed in the Alma tunnel. Trevor survived, but his struggle to recover from his appalling injuries was only the beginning of a much bigger battle: to clear his name, as his employer, owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al Fayed, named Trevor responsible for the crash. In this volume, Trevor tells his own story, including his knowledge of Diana's relationship with Dodi and how Dodi's unpredictability made the bodyguard's job so difficult

After Diana Mandy Merck (Editor)

The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, was met by the greatest public mourning witnessed in the 20th century. For those perplexed by the events surrounding Diana's death, this book seeks to provide some answers. Underpinned by the idea that all aspects of the affair are open to investigation, that nothing - especially royalty - is sacred, it brings together a group of writers whose primary interest is to analyze her death rather than lament it.
