Diana died in the early hours of August 31, 1997 after being injured in a crash in a road tunnel in Paris. Her partner Dodi Fayed and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Speaking about his grief on ITV's Loose Men, Spencer, 60, said: "It's such an amputation. You grow up with these people, they are your flesh and blood, they're with you forever, and then they're gone.
