London - A dramatic "final picture" of Princess Diana taken some five minutes before she died in a car crash in Paris 10 years ago has been presented to the London inquest investigating how she and her lover, Dodi al-Fayed, died. The photograph, published by newspapers for the first time Wednesday, was taken by French snapper Jacques Langevin, and shows Diana, head turned, looking out of the back window of the Mercedes car at what appear to be paparazzi in pursuit.

It also shows bodyguard Trevor Rees, in the front passenger seat, who survived the crash, and French driver Henri Paul, who was killed along with Diana and Dodi.

Other pictures shown to the jury, and later published on the inquest's official website, show the wreckage of the car after it hit a pillar in the Pont d'Alma tunnel.

The jury, which is due to investigate previous findings that Paul was three times over the legal alcohol driving limit on the night of the crash, will travel to the scene in Paris next week.

Pain
By: Ma. Victoria B. , Wed, 03 Oct 2007 17:34:18 GMT

Why there is always a question of who and what. Did people give a damn about the pain she felt at that time, or for what. it beats the crop of being crucified like J.C did back in the days, you can't imagine what freedom really meant for just wanted to be as normal as anyone. Did anyone ask if she is one of the skilled person- Term:a person that reached her credits to be up because they earned it. A person that is a human being that have all the complete senses and listened to EVERYTHING and utilize it. thats why she taught exceptional kids, the most intelligent age group there is---
Like when Pres. bush coincidentally with a grp. of them when major things happen, coping with realm of these world sometimes doesn't have all the fairness of an expected result. Do yopu know where stars came from and why they are bouncing off each other and all the thermal energy with any ionazation word connects to matters- you would understand what LOVE, LIfe,.EXISTENCE and PURPOSE if you really MATTER. I Did.
