Dodi, Diana and driver Henri Paul were all killed, leaving Rees-Jones as the sole survivor, fighting for his life having suffered appalling injuries. The car contained no ordinary passengers-Rees-Jones was the bodyguard of Dodi Fayed, companion of Diana, Princess of Wales. Rees-Jones's life changed irrevocably on the night of Saturday, August 31, 1997, when the car he was travelling in crashed in a certain Alma tunnel in Paris. Trevor Rees-Jones's straightforwardness is a virtue that looks all the more impressive in such a crooked story' * Telling my story in a book is the last thing I ever dreamed I'd be doing", writes Trevor Rees-Jones in the introduction to his autobiography, The Bodyguard's Story. After all those feverish rival accounts of Diana and her motives - the 'I Loved Her Better Than You * school of memoir - this book is like drinking a long cold glass of water. THE BODYGUARD'S STORY is that rare thing: a thriller told by an unexcitable man.
