  • Story Text: - INTRO: Britain's Princess Diana on Wednesday attended the Orthodox funeral of a young Greek she met during one of her mercy visits to a London hospital.

    Britain's Diana, Princess of Wales, arrived in Greece on Wednesday (September 18) to attend the funeral of Yannis Kalyviotis, 27, who died in a London hospital at the weekend.

    Diana, dressed in black and wearing a strand of large white pearls, landed at Athens airport and left quickly by car for the funeral in the mining town of Limni on the island of Evia, northeast of Athens.

    Diana made no comment to reporters and kept her head bowed most of the time, avoiding a direct look into television cameras.

    Yannis Kalyviotis died in London at the weekend of cystic fibrosis, a non-contagious, hereditary disease.

    Diana divorced Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, this year. She is due to attend a gala dinner next Tuesday in Washington.
