Firefighter recalls Princess Diana's heartbreaking words after tragic Paris car crash
It's almost the 25th anniversary of the tragic death of Princess Diana, who passed away following a devastating car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997.
Xavier has revealed that he didn't believe the "blonde woman" sitting in the back of the car was seriously injured, as she was conscious and still had her eyes open. "To be honest I thought she would live. As far as I knew when she was in the ambulance she was alive and I expected her to live. But I found out later she had died in hospital. It was very upsetting."
"I know now that there were serious internal injuries, but the whole episode is still very much in my mind. And the memory of that night will stay with me forever.
