UK: CROWDS LINE ROAD TO ALTHORP WHERE PRINCESS DIANA IS BURIED

(6 Sep 1997) English/Nat Princess Diana, the world's most photographed woman, was buried Saturday far out of the reach of even the longest telephoto lens, on the grounds of her childhood home. Crowds had followed her almost to the last, lining up five-deep along the rural road leading to Althorp Park, the ancestral home of her family, the Spencers. Hundreds of people flocked to the country lanes to witness the final few miles of Diana's final journey. Her family decided bring the Princess back to her true `home'. The Spencer's ancestral home in Althorp, two hours north of London, was where she developed the shy-but-warm charm that captivated the nation and the world. SOUNDBITE: "Couldn't accept she's gone. I had to see it go past. Q: What thoughts were going through your mind? A: Sorrow -- and wished we'd told her before we'd loved her.
