Princess Diana’s final words have been revealed by a firefighter who held her hand after the fatal car crash.
Shockwaves were felt around the world when, 28 years ago, Princess Diana tragically died.
On August 31, 1997, the 36-year-old and her partner Dodi Fayed were trying to escape photographers in Paris when the car they were travelling in crashed.
It’s reported that chauffeur Henri Paul lost control of the car at the entrance to the Pont de l’Alma underpass and struck another vehicle, before swerving to the left of the two-lane tunnel and colliding with a column at an estimated 65 mph.
The crashed claimed Diana, Dodi, and Henri’s lives. The only passenger to survive was Dodi’s bodygard, Trevor Rees-Jones.
Emergency services rushed to the scene following the catastrophic crash, and among the first to arrive was firefighter Xavier Gourmelon.

Gourmelon said he didn’t immediately recognize Diana, but said that the ‘blonde woman’ in the backseat was conscious when he approached the vehicle.
