Sir, - May I congratulate you on your excellent coverage of the sudden and tragic death of Diana, Princess of Wales, which has reflected the strength of the reaction of people in Ireland to this tragedy.
I should like to take this opportunity to thank the many thousands of people who have called at this Embassy and elsewhere to sign books of condolence and to pay their respects to the Princess. In my long diplomatic career I have never witnessed such a genuine outpouring of emotion. It has been very moving. - Yours etc.,
Ambassador, British Embassy, Dublin 4.
