The final moments of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed before the car journey on which they died were shown in full for the first time today.
CCTV footage, revealed at the couple's inquest in London's high court, captures the princess snuggling in Dodi's arms in the rear service exit of the Ritz Hotel in Paris.
Around them, aides are seen hurriedly making arrangements to evade a large crowd of paparazzi waiting at the front. The footage also appears to show the hotel's head of security Henri Paul - who was to drive the couple that night - waving at paparazzi just moments before they depart.
Diana playfully salutes Mr Paul as he comes to brief them on arrangements at one point.
The couple stand to one side as he and bodyguard Trevor Rees (formerly known as Rees Jones) await the arrival of a Mercedes to take them through the hotel's back door at 16 minutes and 57 seconds past midnight.
The couple were waiting for the Mercedes to take them to Mr Fayed's Paris flat where, his family believe, he was to present Diana with an engagement ring. But within minutes Mr Fayed would be dead, along with Mr Paul, and Diana would be fatally wounded.
London's High Court was shown how, while Diana and Mr Fayed were waiting at the back door, staff were attempting to fool the paparazzi at the main entrance with a two-car decoy convoy.
But several photographers realised what was happening and snapped the couple leaving for the last time. The jury watched grainy footage of Diana and Mr Fayed emerging from the back door, running past some roadworks and across the road into the waiting car. Diana is seen to raise her hand to cover her face as she gets in.
The car was surrounded by photographers immediately and pursued by scooters and a 4x4 vehicle as it pulled away.
