A crowd of more than a million mourners lined London streets as Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest. The royal procession from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey featured the Royal Family, Welsh guards, and tributes from Prince William, Prince Harry, and Charles, Earl Spencer. The service included readings by Diana's relatives and Prime Minister Tony Blair, with bells tolling and a moment of silence marking her passing.
Princess Diana linked to her death as tributes pour in from Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Basil Hume.

She led the order since 1950 and was succeeded in 1997 by Sister Nirmala.
