(about 1 hour later) | |
The Princess Diana inquest jury has seen new CCTV footage of Dodi Al Fayed picking out what his family says may have been an engagement ring. | |
Just hours before the crash in which the couple were killed, Mr Al Fayed paid a visit to the Paris branch of jewellery store Alberto Repossi. | |
The grainy images showed Mr Al Fayed standing, surrounded by staff, and being shown several items of jewellery. | |
The couple died when their Mercedes crashed in a Paris tunnel in 1997. | |
The jury watched Mr Al Fayed being taken to a cabinet by Mr Repossi before a selection of pieces was laid out on tables for him to inspect. | |

Mr Al Fayed's father, Harrods owner Mohamed Al Fayed, says the couple had met Mr Repossi earlier that summer to chose a ring which was then sent to be sized in Italy. | |
The ring was from Mr Repossi's "Dis-moi oui" range - meaning "Tell me yes". | The ring was from Mr Repossi's "Dis-moi oui" range - meaning "Tell me yes". |
