The bodyguard's story - Trevor Rees-Jones

Where were you when Diana died?

For Trevor Rees-Jones the answer is simple: he was in the same hospital as her, fighting for his own life a few rooms away. As bodyguard to her companion Dodi Fayed he was with the couple as their friendship developed during the weeks before their arrival in Paris, and then in the car with them when it crashed in the Alma tunnel.

Miraculously, Trevor survived. But the struggle to recover from his appalling injuries was only the beginning of a bigger battle: to restore his reputation, as his employer, the controversial owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al Fayed, ended up naming Trevor responsible for the crash in his increasingly desperate search for culprits and conspiracy.

Now, for the first time, Trevor Rees-Jones tells his own extraordinary story.
