The British constitution has always been puzzling and always will be.

I hope that tomorrow we can all, wherever we are, join in expressing our grief at Diana's loss, and gratitude for her all-too-short life. It is a chance to show to the whole world the British nation united in grief and respect.

My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first.

No one who knew Diana will ever forget her. Millions of others who never met her, but felt they knew her, will remember her.

The events that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling experience. It has touched me deeply to see so many thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in such a happy atmosphere.
