Princess Diana blossomed from a shy,
private member of the British aristocracy into the people's princess. She
was the most photographed member of the Royal Family, but the demand for
pictures intruded on her private life even to her death. |

Millions of mourners lined the route
of the funeral procession from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey. After
the service the cortege made its way to the Spencer family estate at Althorp
in Northamptonshire. |

Diana is buried on the Althorp estate
where she spent much of her early life. Her body was laid to rest on an
island in an ornamental lake surrounded by trees planted by her family.

There has been an extraordinary
outpouring of collective grief from the British public. Bereavement
counsellors say many are acting as if they have lost members of their own
family. Calls for help are on the increase and Church attendance is up.

Most normal activity ceased on
Saturday morning to mark the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales. Shops,
banks and entertainment venues stayed shut, sports stadiums lay empty, with
fixtures cancelled, and silent tributes were paid across the nation.

In life she was a tireless campaigner
for the dispossessed and disadvantaged, a woman whose support for individual
organisations has been described as 'incalculable'. Hundreds of
representatives from those charities walked with the Princess on her last
journey through London. |
