SIR, - THE TABLOID MEDIA ARE DERIDED FOR TRYING TO TAKE PICTURES OF THE DEAD OR DYING PRINCESS DIANA. YET MOST PAPERS and TV STATIONS ROUTINELY DISPLAY PICTURES OF DEAD AND DYING PEOPLE. THEY MIGHT BE MURDER VICTIMS, FAMINE VICTIMS OR THE VICTIMS OF WAR. IN NO CASE IS THEIR CONSENT SOUGHT OR THEIR FAMILIES CONSULTED.THE DIFFERENCE? THEY'RE ANONYMOUS BLACK PEOPLE WHILE DIANA WAS A FAMOUS WHITE PERSON. FUNNY OLD WORLD ISN'T IT? - YOURS, ETC.,SMITHFIELD TERRACE, DUBLIN 7
