THE PRIME MINISTER

15 SEPTEMBER 1997

Dear Minister,

Thank you for your condolences on the tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales. She won the hearts of people not only in Britain but all over the world. Her sympathy, her humanity and her work for the weak and the suffering in many countries were an inspiration. That is why her untimely death has brough such pain and grief to millions.

Your message was much appreciated here, in helping to illustrate how much Diana was loved elsewhere. Allow me to express the gratitude of the British people for thinking of us at this sad moment in our history.

Yours sincerely,

Tony Blair

The Hon. Evarist Bartolo
