  • Story Text: INTRO: The last known pictures of Diana, Princess of Wales, have been released. They were taken on Saturday (August 30) in Sardinia only hours before she was killed with her companion Dodi Al Fayed in a car crash in Paris.

    -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Princess arrived at the airport in Sardinia with Dodi Al Fayed at the end of the couple's Mediterranean holiday.

    She was looking tanned, relaxed and very happy. She shook hands with officials on the tarmac before boarding the jet for the short trip to Paris.

    The plane was provided by Dodi's father Mohammed Al Fayed, the head of London's most famous store Harrod's.

    Diana and the new love of her life travelled to the French capital where they were due to spend Saturday (August 30) night before Diana was expected to return to London.

    Diana and Al Fayed had been the focus of frenzied media attention for the past month after photographs showed the pair embracing on a Mediterranean holiday.

    Only last week, Diana lashed out at the press in an interview published in the French daily Le Monde.
