Morning, guys.

Ricky here with your morning Newsround, live on CBBC.

First up, it's been 20 years since a huge event

for the royal family.

Princess Diana, the mother of Princes William and Harry, died.

So who was she and what happened?

Jenny has this report.

Diana Spencer was born in 1961.

She was the daughter of a man called Earl Spencer and her family

were wealthy and important.

Diana worked as a nursery school teacher before marrying

the Queen's eldest son, Prince Charles, when

she was 20 years old.

Their wedding was a really big deal.

A billion people watched it on TV.

Prince William and Prince Harry were born but Charles and Diana had

an unhappy marriage and in 1992 they split up.

Princess Diana became a well-known public figure and was photographed

everywhere she went.

She did a lot of charity work and many people

liked her because she spoke openly about her problems.

I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day

and age is a disease of people feeling unloved and I know that

I can give love and I'm very happy to do it,

I want to do that.

But then, on the 31st of August 1997, the world was shocked

and Princess Diana died in a car crash in the French

capital of Paris.

Newsround covered it at the time.

The royal family have said they are deeply grateful

for the public's huge support following the death of Diana,

Princess of Wales.

She was a brilliant lady, all the charity work and I think

she needs all the praise she can get and it's very sad

how young she died.

I think everybody in the whole world is going to miss her.

A lot of people were very upset when she died.

Diana had been a big part of public life and many people

felt like they knew her.

Thousands of people made the trip to Kensington Palace

where she lived to leave cards, flowers and messages

for her as a tribute.

Thousands more lined the streets for her funeral and millions

in the UK and around the world watched it on TV.

Since their mother's death, Princes William and Harry have

continued a lot of her charity work and they have spoken

about what happened.

We both incredibly loved her and I am very grateful

that the love still feels there.

It was that love that even if she was on the other side

of a room, as a son, you could feel it.

Now, 20 years on, Princess Diana is still being remembered.

Well, if you want to find out more about Princess Diana

and what happened, head to Newsround online,

where you can read our guide.

Next up, on Monday the Queen will officially open the brand new,

tallest bridge in the UK.

But where is it?

And how big is it?

Here's what you need to know.

The Queensferry Crossing - that's the brand-new 2.7 kilometre

bridge over the River Forth in Scotland,

linking Edinburgh and Fife.

The Queensferry Crossing stands a massive

207 metres above high tide.

That's as high as 48 double decker buses stacked on top of each other.

The steel in the bridge deck weighs 35,000 tonnes.

That's almost 200 Boeing 747s.

It has special wind shields along each side to protect traffic

from wind, so it can stay open even in the stormiest of conditions -

much needed on the windy Forth Estuary.

The foundation supports are sunk into the mud down to the bedrock,

just one of them is as tall as the Statue of Liberty.

And an online ballot was held to give 50,000 people the once

in a lifetime chance to walk across the bridge.

Nearly five times that number a applied.

Most are from Scotland and the rest of the UK,

but some are from the US, India and one is from Slovakia.

The Queen officially opened it on Monday and the day after 10,000

local school kids will be able to walk on the bridge too.

Then on Thursday next week, the Queensferry crossing

will open for business.

Now, take a look at a very special toilet.

This is a loo made of solid gold that's worth a million pounds.

Designed by an Italian artist, it's been installed

in New York's Guggenheim Museum.

It works like a normal toilet and more than 100,000 visitors have

already queued up to spend a penny.

That's all from me.

Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
