Princess Diana Inquest Day 3645 AD (After Diana): Where Paparazzi Dare
“WE have had this so many times before,” says Richard Westwood-Brookes, the auctioneer. “Unfortunately we seem to be in a culture these days when somebody somewhere has always got to find whatever you do as offensive or bad timing.”
It is Day 13 of the Princess Diana Inquest and news is that a Spitting Image puppet of Diana Of The Immaculate Appearance is to go under the hammer.
The Times has resisted all urges to place the puppet at the scene of the fatal crash, although it does, as ever, show the mangled remains of Diana’s car.
In London, a new witness is taking the stand. He is Grigori Rassinier, a French motorist who had been travelling the other way when Diana’s car crashed.
More testimony from Sarah Culpepper, a holidaying Briton, and from Amel Samel, a motorist. There is smoke. A bang. Death. The truth seems all too clear.
And then in the Express, there is a “Mystery man spotted in death tunnel”. Front-page news. It is the “Riddle of motorbike that dodged Diana’s crash in tunnel”.
Rassinier sees this bike swerve to avoid the crash. The driver was, her thinks, dressed in beige. Yes, beige. In Paris. Sensation.
Rassinier does not stop his car. Ms Samel does not stop. A Mrs Joanna Da Costa, an American tourist, does not enter the tunnel. She “fled terrified from the scene”.
When the celebrity princess was in need, the paparazzi and not the people went in.
You protect your own…

Get your facts right…the inspector that you mention in your blurb is NOT Inspector John Carpenter, but Chief Inspector Paul Carpenter…who happens to be my brother and has worked on this case for years and years without a break..to the detriment of his friends and family.
He has done so without any any reward..verbal or otherwise and has presented FACTS , without opinion to the inquest,,and is probably the only person to have done so during the whole sad saga without emotion or Bias.
There are some good guys out there, and my brother is one of them…he is probably the most sensible guy I’ve ever met (we’re not particularly close) and I only wish I had conducted my life in the scrupulous manner that he has conducted his.
Paul is the one Hero out of this nonsense and should be recognised as such!..Shame on you and shame on the cops…people like you should honour a real good guy without mis-spelling his name.
Regards,
Andrew (Proud brother of Paul)

Administrator: We are happy to allow this comment to stand but the Moderator who first saw it is puzzled by the fact there is no reference in the original article referred to the popular policeman brother.
John, Paul, Ringo or George, we remain resolutely in favour of all brothers and good policemen. We are also proud of Andrews who defend Pauls…even if a little liverish.
Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales, remains dead. -agw

She threatened to cease being a puppet, then ceased to be!
