on behalf of Charles, William, Harry and all my family and of all the Spencer family with us today.

I do find the anniversaries particularly difficult, as do all our family,

Today is our chance to say 'thank you' for the way you brightened our lives, even though God granted you but half a life,

We will all feel cheated that you were taken from us so young, and yet we must learn to be grateful that you came along at all.

We're so bad right now that for us back-to-back home runs means one today and another one tomorrow.

The fact that she would have been 40 has added to the poignancy this year and I just hope we are doing the best we can for her without having her around any more.
