0:00:14 > 0:00:20And a toilet with a difference!

0:00:25 > 0:00:28First up, it's been 20 years since a huge event

0:00:28 > 0:00:30for the royal family.

0:00:30 > 0:00:34Princess Diana, the mother of Princes William and Harry, died.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38She was one of the most famous people in the world

0:00:38 > 0:00:39So who was she, and what happened?

0:00:39 > 0:00:40Jenny has this special report.

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Diana Spencer was born back in 1961.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46She was the daughter of a man called Earl Spencer and her family

0:00:46 > 0:00:48were wealthy and important.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Diana worked as a nursery school teacher

0:00:50 > 0:00:52before marrying the Queen's eldest son, Prince Charles,

0:00:52 > 0:00:56when she was 20 years old.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59Their wedding was a really big deal.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02A billion people watched it on TV.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Prince William and Prince Harry were born but Charles and Diana

0:01:05 > 0:01:10had an unhappy marriage and in 1992 they split up.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Princess Diana became a well-known public figure and was

0:01:13 > 0:01:16photographed everywhere she went.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19She did a lot of charity work and many people liked her

0:01:19 > 0:01:21because she spoke openly about her problems.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24I think the biggest disease this world suffers from in this day

0:01:24 > 0:01:28and age is a disease of people feeling unloved and I know that

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I can give love and I'm very happy to do that,

0:01:31 > 0:01:33and I want to do that.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37But then, on the 31st of August 1997, the world was shocked

0:01:37 > 0:01:40when Princess Diana died in a car crash

0:01:40 > 0:01:43in the French capital of Paris.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45Newsround covered it at the time.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50for the public's huge support following the death of

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Diana, Princess of Wales.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56She was a brilliant lady, all the charity work and I think

0:01:56 > 0:01:59she needs all the praise she can get and it's very sad

0:01:59 > 0:02:01how young she's died.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03Like myself, I think everybody in the whole world

0:02:03 > 0:02:07is going to miss her.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10A lot of people were very upset when she died.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Diana had been a big part of public life and many people

0:02:13 > 0:02:14felt like they knew her.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Thousands of people made the trip to Kensington Palace where she'd

0:02:17 > 0:02:18lived to leave flowers, cards and messages

0:02:18 > 0:02:20for her as a tribute.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Thousands more lined the streets for her funeral and millions

0:02:22 > 0:02:28in the UK and around the world watched it on TV.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34continued a lot of her charity work and they have spoken

0:02:34 > 0:02:37about what happened.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40We both incredibly loved her and I am very grateful

0:02:40 > 0:02:46that the love still feels there.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50It was that love that even if she was on the other side

0:02:50 > 0:02:54of a room, as a son, you could feel it.

0:03:33 > 0:03:37fully covered in bees.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Juan Carlos Ortiz sat for 61 minutes in a sealed dome as

0:03:40 > 0:03:44more than 100,000 bees crawled over his face and neck.

0:03:44 > 0:03:49He broke the current record of 53 minutes and 34 seconds

0:03:49 > 0:03:51by almost eight minutes.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56And he only got one or two stings.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00tallest bridge in the UK.

0:04:21 > 0:04:26That's as high as 48 double decker buses stacked on top of each other.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30The steel in the bridge deck weighs 35,000 tonnes.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34That's almost 200 Boeing 747s.

0:04:34 > 0:04:37It has special wind shields along each side to protect traffic

0:04:37 > 0:04:42from wind, so it can stay open even in the stormiest of conditions -

0:04:42 > 0:04:46much needed on the windy Forth Estuary.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50The foundation supports are sunk into the mud down to the bedrock.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Just one of them is as tall as the Statue of Liberty.

0:04:54 > 0:04:58And an online ballot was held to give 50,000 people the once

0:05:36 > 0:05:38in New York's Guggenheim Museum.

0:05:38 > 0:05:42It works like a normal toilet and more than 100,000 visitors have
