Should the Diana pictures be shown?
| 15:39 UK time, Wednesday, 6 June 2007
It may be almost ten years since Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris, but your appetite to talk about her shows no signs of waning. The surround the decision by British broadcaster Channel 4 from a medic at the scene of the crash. If you watch , you'll also see a picture that shows her in the wreckage of the car.
Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, have appealed for the picture not to be shown. They believe it shows their mother 'gross disrespect'. Channel 4 says the picture adds to the content of the documentary and showing it is in the public interest.
So should the pictures be shown?
HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND:- The picture of her receiving oxygen has previously been published in an Italian magazine.
- Channel 4 will blur the part of the photo showing the Princess.
- The documentary is about the first-hand accounts of those who were at the scene of the crash.
- The programme will screen a couple of hours after we are on air. It seems certain to go ahead.

For those who missed it yesterday, here's again.
HELLO / GOODBYE
I'm afraid that just three days after coming back, I'm out of the office again for a while. This time it's nothing as exciting as our Africa trip - I've got have get my nose fixed. It was rearranged by a very well-built khaki short-wearing Neo-Nazi in Madrid a few years ago (he had his own way of 'having his say') and I've been putting off having it sorted it out since. I'm probably going to be off for around two weeks. In the meantime, Peter Dobbie and others will be keeping you company. I shall be listening as I nibble on grapes and admire by black eyes.
Speak to you later.
