  On August 31st 1997, the country came together in shock, grief and mourning following the death of the much-loved Princess Diana. Diana was much more than a Princess, she was an icon, and her hands-on approach to people in need endeared her to everyone. Her loss was felt not only by the British people who loved her, but by the rest of the world. This sensitive and glowing portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales, shows the warm and human side to the world's most famous woman. Hers should have been a long and golden life filled with all the riches and acclaim that was hers when she married the most eligible bachelor - Charles, the Prince of Wales, heir to the British throne. We take a solemn look at the remarkable funeral of Diana at historic Westminster Abbey, including the unprecedented raising of the British flag to half-mast at Buckingham Palace. This exceptional tribute to the 'English Rose' is overshadowed only by the overwhelming beauty and warmth she unselfishly shared with us all. Her short presence here with us and her unparalleled achievements throughout the world will have an impact forever. Princess Diana will always remain the undisputed Queen of Hearts the world over
