Al Fayed takes to the stand

Mohamed al Fayed arrived at the High Court today and announced: “This is my moment for me to say exactly what how I feel.”

The Harrods tycoon is at the Royal Courts of Justice in central London to give evidence at the inquest into the death of his son, Dodi, and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Surrounded by photographers, Mr al Fayed gave a wry smile as he entered the building.

He said: “I’ve been fighting for 10 years. This is the moment for me to say exactly what I feel happened to my son and Diana.”
