Diana

Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car-crash in Paris in the early hours of Sunday, 31 August, 1997. A protracted legal battle turned out that her driver was drunk at the time and driving at excessive speed. Although harassment by reporters may well have had some bearing on the accident, a direct link has been discarded. Diana died in a vehicle she was sharing with her friend Dodi Al-Fayed, son of Harrods owner Mohammed Al-Fayed. Dodi died too, but his father has been vociferous in his conviction that the British Royal Family had conspired to get rid of Diana in this fashion. An inquest has ruled that such a conspiracy theory could not be substantiated. Mr Al Fayed has stated that he does not intend to pursue the matter further, to everybody's great relief.

  8. I will always remember that date because it is the day my brother had brain surgery to clip an aneurysm.  I was in the CCU waiting room when the news report about Diana came on the television.
