FAYED ACCUSES BISHOP OF ‘HIJACKING’ MEMORIAL SERVICE

Mohamed Al-Fayed has hit out at the Bishop of London for ‘hijacking’ last Friday’s memorial service for Diana, Princess of Wales, to express his ‘personal opinions’. The Bishop, Richard Chartres, appealed for an end to the skirmishing over the Princess by urging, ‘let it end here’. But Fayed, speaking to the Sunday Times, declared that the Bishop ‘shouldn’t have hijacked a memorial service to let us know various of his personal opinions – for that’s all they were. He preached at us to let her memory rest, but how can that happen when the truth is still being covered up?’ The inquest into Diana’s death is scheduled to take place next month.

We all knew what the Bishop meant and we can understand Mohamed Al-Fayed's hurt because of the unfinished business of the impending inquest. However, when the inquest is over I truly hope that the media will respect the Bishop's plea to 'let it end here', so that all the families concerned may know real peace and be free to remember Diana happily.
