I can tell people and all this c**p will finish." (The "c**p" being conspiracy theories about the events of that night.) SOLE SURVIVOR In an interview in 2000 he reflected: "I'm the only person who can tell people for real, and I can't remember. Rees would later say the last thing he remembered was climbing into the car at the Ritz, meaning there was a "missing" four minutes from his memory. Initially, I had been told that Dodi and Diana would travel without security and I said this would not happen, that I would travel in the vehicle with them." THE MISSING FOUR MINUTES "I advised Dodi that we could leave from the front of the hotel in two vehicles, as the crowd and the press would be pushed back across the road at the front of the hotel. "I wasn't happy as it meant Dodi would be splitting the security officers, but I went along with it," he said. Accompanying them were bodyguards Rees and Kez Wingfield. In the afternoon, they had flown to Paris where they initially travelled to the Ritz and then to Dodi's luxury apartment near the Champs-Elysees. By August 30, the duo were returning from their third holiday together having cruised around Sardinia.

Throughout July and August of that year, Diana and Dodi's relationship blossomed in full view of the paparazzi. (Diana only used police protection when she undertook official events.) WHY REES WAS IN THE CAR In the summer of 1997, some biographers have claimed, one of the things that attracted Diana to holidaying with the Al-Fayeds in the south of France (where she met Dodi) was his large private security team. In 1995, he went to work for billionaire Egyptian Mohammed Al-Fayed, whose vast empire (then) included Harrods, the Ritz Hotel in Paris and Fulham Football Club. Mr Rees served in the parachute regiment and then did a tour in Northern Ireland before leaving the armed forces. However, despite being the only one of that group still alive, Mr Rees's life since then has been marred by pain, divorce, war and dogged by conspiracy theories about who was really to blame for the death of the People's Princess. (He now only goes by the name Trevor Rees.) The only person to survive the horrifying smash was Mr Rees, a bodyguard for the Al-Fayed family. Diana would die later in hospital after a desperate but futile bid to save her life.
