During the ceremony Harry called his mother "the best in the world" and the {{w|Bishop of London}}, Reverend Dr {{w|Richard Chartres}}, said that Diana should now be left to "rest in peace" and that the media speculation and conspiracy theories should end.

The second inquiry into the circumstances of the fatal crash is due to commence in the coming weeks.
