The plane carrying the body of Diana, Princess of Wales, on Sunday (31/08) took off from a military airport outside Paris bound for London.
Accompanied by her former husband Prince Charles, the body of Britain's Diana, Princess of Wales, was earlier taken from Paris' Pitie-Salpetriere hospital in a hearse to begin its journey back to England. Britain's Prince Charles was greeted by French President Jacques Chirac when he arrived at the hospital on Sunday to reclaim the
body of Diana. The prince had flown to Villacoublay military airfield outside Paris from Aberdeen, accompanied by Diana's two sisters, Lady Jane and Lady Sarah.
