A huge, solemn, grand, and century funeral ceremony took place under the glare the public all over the world.  Approximately tens of millions of people were attracted to participate in the last glance of that great person in their mind via television and radio. Who on earth was that important person? It was Princess Diana. She possessed the quality of overwhelming fascination and was regarded as an everlasting queen. When Diana's body was escorted from Paris to England, a lot of citizen sent numerous bouquets of flowers to her with a deplorable, grievous, and sorrowful feeling. Her coffin was decked with a wealth of flowers like elegant roses, lilies, and tulips. It was also draped with the queen colors. Everyone wept as they strove to glimpse the cortege from Diana's home at Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey.  Then she was carried into the somber congregation. The guests cried inside the vast church, and the crowds sobbed outsides. People were all touched during this period of time. And Diana's life was elegantly and gracefully gone away with the song of the candle in the wind sung by Elton John emotionally. After the ceremony ended, the hearse and a small procession of cars left the Abbey for the two hour journey to Althorp, the Spancers' ancestral home in Northamatonshire. Alongside the road, a crowd of mourners and viewers kept on placing more flowers and written tributes on the immense pile between the Queen Victoria Memorial and the palace gates. Instead of burying Diana's remains in the local church, the Spancers decided to make it rest on an island in the middle of a small lake which was very serene and tranquil for Diana. And nobody could bother her any more. Accordingly, the world watched her in the last live broadcast when the procession of cars passed through the gates of the Spancers' estate. 
      Diana's life was very similar to the fairy tales, the real-life fairy tales. On that day 16 years ago 1981, she married Charles, the Prince of Wales under the declaration of Archbishop of Canterbury. She began to lead a royal life which every girl had ever dreamed and fancied living in that gorgeous, splendid and grandeur palace as well as living delightedly with her beloved Prince. How envious life it is! This Prince Diana had an irresistibly glamorous beauty. She was possessed of a pair of appealing eyes which could entice a glance and perfect contour of her nose. Besides, her strong jaw line and haughty cheekbones were more enchanting. Those prominent qualities made her really like a divine queen in the castle of the royal fairy tale. She was easily prone to reveal the natural noble attitude and appearance. In addition to her Venus-like figure, the most pivotal factor which made her renowned was that she had a very kind, amiable, and easy-going heart towards her people not only the rich but also the poor. Especially, she was greatly fond of children. 
      Throughout Diana's life, it wasn't rather smoothly wonderful as people thought. As she suffered from the divorce with Prince Charles and couldn't procure his love, she had ever experienced a period of tough time. And she turned her love to those people in need. Over the past years, Diana had taken part in charitable activities. As a Princess, she embraced the baby with AIDS. Furthermore, in her solo career, she sold off her eveningwear at Christie's for charity and visited lepers in Indonesia and explored mine-fields in Bosnia. The message she sent was radical one "You don't need a palace to be a princess. You may even need to leave it to become one." 
      Those deeds were vividly rooted in everyone's mind and that was the main point which made her become an eternal Princess for universal people who admired and revered her so deeply. Above all, as a result of her honesty and firm determination to do what she thought it was right, she became the most popular in the world. 
      However, Diana's death wasn't on physical disease but an unexpected accident of car crash. Originally, she intended to go back to England the next day for a visit with her sons Williams and Harry. When she and Emad Fayed went out the Paris Ritz, they got on the car driven by a drunken driver, Henri Paul. Due to the journalists' curiosity about the fact that whether Diana had decided her future with Emad Fayed, they drove motorcycles to follow Diana. Therefore, a swarm of motorcycles and scooters expanded the feverishly high-speed pursuit on the road. This kind of perilous driving seemed to happen on the movies. However, to everyone's surprise, this was the last journey for Diana. From the newspapers, we knew that when the car entered the tunnel on Paris's Place de 1'Alma, it struck the concrete divider that separated the eastbound lanes from the westbound and then cartwheel rolled over a full 360 degrees and spinning around nearly 180 degrees. The noise was tremendously loud even like an explosion. The live situation was too horrible to look at. And under emergent operation of rescuing Diana 's life, doctors eventually still declared the Princess dead at 3 a.m. London time. 
      This car crash gave an end to Diana's death, which was immensely pitiful and exactly sudden for people to accept immediately. Regardless of the negative reports which ever propagated rampantly the world over, those disappeared with the death of Diana. And what she left to her people was infinite veneration. Although Diana's body had been buried under the ground, her immortal spirit would exist in everyone's mind. And the status of Princess Diana would have a profound influence on the whole world.
