A photographer at the centre of claims that Diana, Princess of Wales, was murdered, bragged to a famous crime novelist that he was at the scene of her fatal car crash undetected, her inquest has heard.

At least some of the paparazzi who pursued Diana, Princess of Wales, to the scene of her death made statements that were "patently dishonest and misleading," the High Court was told today.

Two witnesses who saw a white Fiat Uno emerging from the Paris tunnel where Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed today picked out the same possible driver from a line-up of pictures.
