British Rail Intercity 125 journey from Bath Spa to London Paddington and views of VIPs arriving at Westminster Abbey and the international media covering the event.
Princess Diana's tragic death is one of the most heart-breaking news stories of the century; the 36-year-old former Princess of Wales was killed in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997, and seven days later, she was honoured with a public funeral that remains one of the most watched events in history.
An estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide viewed or listened to the funeral, while another three million crowded the streets of London to follow the route of Diana's coffin from Kensington Palace to her final resting place at the Spencer family home in Althorp. While the event brought in many well-wishers — and celebrity guests like Tom Cruise, Hillary Clinton, Anna Wintour, and Steven Spielberg — Diana's funeral was originally intended to be a private affair attended only by members of the royal family and her closest relatives and friends but became a history-making phenomenon.
