Spencer eulogy electrifies mourners at Diana funeral

The Earl Spencer in Westminster Abbey blasted newspapers and photographers for turning Diana into the most hunted figure. Crowds cheered from parks and streets as Diana’s coffin was carried past, with Prince Charles, Prince Philip, and the princes walking behind the gun carriage. Spencer vowed Diana’s blood family would shield the boys from duty and tradition while allowing their souls to sing.
