********ABOUT THE BOOK*******

This amazingly moving book comprises the commentary, recollections and poetry of writers, friends and commentators of Diana, Princess of Wales during the weeks following her tragic death on August 31, 1997.

Requiem is the remarkable testimony to the most traumatic and emotional week in post-war history. Never before have writers been so tested to articulate their feelings and express a response to the tragedy that literally shook the world.

Diana died on 31 August 1997 due to injuries resulting from a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris while her driver was fleeing the paparazzi. Diana was taken to Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital around 2 a.m and was pronounced dead around 4 a.m. The crash also resulted in the deaths of her companion Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul, who was also the acting security manager of Hôtel Ritz Paris. 

Trevor Rees-Jones, who was employed as a bodyguard by Dodi's father, survived the crash, suffering a serious head injury. The televised funeral, on 6 September, was watched by a British television audience that peaked at 32.1 million, which was one of the United Kingdom's highest viewing figures ever and a United States television audience that peaked at 50 million. The event was broadcast to over 200 countries and was seen by an estimated 2.5 billion people
