Mr Lyons added that he had fond memories of Princess Diana, claiming she was a “great lady”.
He told talkRADIO host Saira Khan: “They’re kept very, very secret.
“It’s a long time since I’ve seen the pictures, although it’s imprinted on your brain.
“I remember ringing up when she’d had the accident in Paris, and three very successful tabloid editors wouldn’t believe me.
“I was probably one of the first five or ten people in the world that knew what had happened.
“We just thought the princess was concussed with a broken arm at the time.”
“It will be remembered as one of the most momentous news events in history, since JFK.
“She was a great lady, and she loved manipulating and using us guys in the media, and she knew the power of the media.
“She was the first pop star princess, and there won’t ever be anyone who comes anywhere near her.”
Princess Diana died in the early hours of August 31, 1997 when her Mercedes S280 limo crashed at speed in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris while being chased by a pack of paparazzi.
Diana’s boyfriend Dodi al Fayed and their driver were pronounced dead at the scene, while the former Princess of Wales was taken to Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital, where she died hours later.
A Metropolitan Police inquiry, Operation Paget, was established in 2004 to investigate various conspiracy theories surrounding the incident.
It found that Diana and Fayed were killed as a result of the “gross negligence” of driver Henri Paul and the paparazzi.
