Veteran journalist Kay Burley posted the archive clip on her Twitter page on the 21st anniversary of Princess Diana’s tragic death in 1997.
The Sky News presenter looked shocked as she received confirmation Diana, Princess of Wales, had died after going into cardiac arrest.
She said: “Now there is confirmation that Diana Princess of Wales has died.
“She died at 4am after going into cardiac arrest, according to doctors at the hospital in Paris.
“Diana Princess of Wales is dead.”
A small crowd gathered on Friday at the gates of Kensington Palace to place flowers, cards and balloons in her memory.
Some of those attending the informal memorial wore patriotic union flag clothing.
One left a gold balloon with the poignant message: “Her legacy lives on through her sons.”
Diana died aged 36 in a high-speed car crash at the Pont de l’Alma tunnel near the River Seine in Paris on August 31, 1997.
Two other people in the car were pronounced dead at the scene – French driver Henri Paul and her boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed, 41.
One of Diana’s bodyguards, Trevor Rees-Jones, suffered significant injuries but survived.
On the evening of the day she died, Diana and Dodi were dining in the Imperial Suite at the Ritz Hotel in Paris.
The couple had hoped for a quiet, romantic meal, but were forced to leave after just 10 minutes because of constant interruptions.
At 11.30pm Diana and Dodi left the hotel to head for his apartment in Paris and were immediately surrounded by paparazzi, despite massive precautions being taken beforehand.
Limousine driver Henri Paul sped through central Paris’ narrow streets and it was later estimated the car was travelling at 60mph.
At 12.19am the car crashed into the 13th pillar of the Pont d’Alma Bridge.
Diana was rushed to Paris’ La Pitie Salpetriere Hospital, but she was pronounced dead at 4am.
