Britain's Prince Charles on Friday said he and his sons would always feel the 'enormous loss' of Princess Diana.
Speaking publicly for the first time about Diana's death in a car crash on August 31th, Charles praised the courage of Prince William and Prince Harry.
He added that the warmth of people's support had been 'remarkable' and in many ways 'overwhelming.'
Almost three weeks after the death of his ex-wife in a Paris car crash, Prince Charles on Friday spoke in public for the first time.
A large crowd gathered to welcome him in Manchester in the north of England.
Many of these wellwishers were still grieving for the loss of Diana.
The Prince, appearing notably relaxed with the crowd, shook hands, took flowers and gifts and accepted condolences on behalf of the two young princes.
Prince Charles thanked people for their support and praised his sons William and Harry.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"The public response to Diana's death has been equally quite remarkable and indeed in many ways overwhelming. And I think many of you will know from the experience of family loss in your own lives, it is inevitably very difficult to cope with grief at any time, but perhaps you might realise that it is even harder when the whole world is watching at the same time. But obviously the public support and the warmth of that support has helped enormously. I can't tell you how enormously grateful and touched both of the boys and myself are. Also I am unbelievably proud of William and Harry, they have been quite remarkable and I think they have handled an extraordinarily difficult time as I am sure all of you can imagine with quite enormous courage and the greatest possible dignity. They are coping extraordinarily well, but obviously Diana's loss and death has been an enormous loss as far as they are concerned, and they will always feel that loss."
SUPER CAPTION: Prince Charles
The Prince, who was at a Salvation Army centre for a community effort to regenerate run-down housing projects, made the personal comments before giving a prepared speech.
For those gathered to greet him it was an opportunity to express their sadness at Diana's untimely death and also a chance to glimpse the man who is most likely to be the next king.
VOXPOP:
"Having met him in the flesh as it were, he is a very regal figure and it's quite daunting in one respect to meet perhaps the future king of England. But I was very proud to have met him."
SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop
Question: Did you offer him any message of support?
VOXPOP:
"Yes, we said how sorry we was for his sad loss and to give our love to the boys.
Question: Are you pleased he came out here today?
"Of course, yes, we shouted Charles and he just turned round and came across."
SUPER CAPTION: Voxpop
The Prince went on to make a private visit to Manchester Cathedral to view the seven books of condolence in which thousands of people have written their personal messages of grief.
