Seven days after Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed in a car accident in Paris, her funeral marked the beginning of a new chapter as the British monarchy almost lost its place in the hearts of a nation in mourning.
The 107-minute royal ceremonial funeral procession from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey on September 6, 1997, was witnessed by 2.5 billion people around the world, 33.5 million Brits on television, one million along London’s freeways and streets, and 2000 dignitaries, heads of state and celebrities inside the abbey.
