Hello, guys.

0:00:050:00:06

Ricky here with your morning Newsround, live on CBBC.

0:00:060:00:08

Coming up...

0:00:080:00:10

A bee-utifal world record.

0:00:100:00:14

And a toilet with a difference!

0:00:140:00:20

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

0:00:250:00:28

for the royal family.

0:00:280:00:30

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

0:00:300:00:34

She was one of the most famous people in the world

0:00:340:00:38

So who was she, and what happened?

0:00:380:00:39

Jenny has this special report.

0:00:390:00:40

Diana Spencer was born back in 1961.

0:00:400:00:42

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

0:00:420:00:46

were wealthy and important.

0:00:460:00:48

Diana worked as a nursery school teacher

0:00:480:00:50

before marrying the Queen's eldest son, Prince Charles,

0:00:500:00:52

when she was 20 years old.

0:00:520:00:56

Their wedding was a really big deal.

0:00:560:00:59

A billion people watched it on TV.

0:00:590:01:02

Prince William and Prince Harry were born but Charles and Diana

0:01:020:01:05

had an unhappy marriage and in 1992 they split up.

0:01:050:01:10

Princess Diana became a well-known public figure and was

0:01:100:01:13

photographed everywhere she went.

0:01:130:01:16

She did a lot of charity work and many people liked her

0:01:160:01:19

because she spoke openly about her problems.

0:01:190:01:21

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

0:01:210:01:24

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

0:01:240:01:28

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

0:01:280:01:31

and I want to do that.

0:01:310:01:33

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

0:01:330:01:37

when Princess Diana died in a car crash

0:01:370:01:40

in the French capital of Paris.

0:01:400:01:43

Newsround covered it at the time.

0:01:430:01:45

The royal family have said they are deeply grateful

0:01:450:01:47

for the public's huge support following the death of

0:01:470:01:50

Diana, Princess of Wales.

0:01:500:01:52

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

0:01:520:01:56

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

0:01:560:01:59

how young she's died.

0:01:590:02:01

Like myself, I think everybody in the whole world

0:02:010:02:03

is going to miss her.

0:02:030:02:07

A lot of people were very upset when she died.

0:02:070:02:10

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

0:02:100:02:13

felt like they knew her.

0:02:130:02:14

Thousands of people made the trip to Kensington Palace where she'd

0:02:140:02:17

lived to leave flowers, cards and messages

0:02:170:02:18

for her as a tribute.

0:02:180:02:20

Thousands more lined the streets for her funeral and millions

0:02:200:02:22

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

0:02:220:02:28

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

0:02:280:02:31

continued a lot of her charity work and they have spoken

0:02:310:02:34

about what happened.

0:02:340:02:37

We both incredibly loved her and I am very grateful

0:02:370:02:40

that the love still feels there.

0:02:400:02:46

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

0:02:460:02:50

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

0:02:500:02:54

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

0:02:540:03:01

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

0:03:010:03:03

and what happened, head to Newsround online, where you can

0:03:030:03:06

read our guide.

0:03:060:03:09

A bit of sport now, and it's the last day of the football

0:03:090:03:12

transfer window in the UK.

0:03:120:03:13

That means it's clubs' last chance to buy and sell players this year.

0:03:130:03:17

There are usually some last-minute big transfers and there's good news

0:03:170:03:20

for Liverpool fans as they've agreed to sign Arsenal midfielder Alex

0:03:200:03:23

Oxlade-Chamberlain for ?40 million.

0:03:230:03:28

A man in Canada has caused a buzz after breaking the world record

0:03:280:03:31

for the longest time having your head

0:03:310:03:33

fully covered in bees.

0:03:330:03:37

Juan Carlos Ortiz sat for 61 minutes in a sealed dome as

0:03:370:03:40

more than 100,000 bees crawled over his face and neck.

0:03:400:03:44

He broke the current record of 53 minutes and 34 seconds

0:03:440:03:49

by almost eight minutes.

0:03:490:03:51

And he only got one or two stings.

0:03:510:03:56

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

0:03:560:03:58

tallest bridge in the UK.

0:03:580:04:00

But where it is it?

0:04:000:04:02

And how big is it?

0:04:020:04:03

Here's what you need to know.

0:04:030:04:06

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

0:04:060:04:09

bridge over the River Forth in Scotland,

0:04:090:04:12

linking Edinburgh and Fife.

0:04:120:04:15

The Queensferry Crossing stands a massive

0:04:150:04:17

207 metres above high tide.

0:04:170:04:21

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

0:04:210:04:26

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

0:04:260:04:30

That's almost 200 Boeing 747s.

0:04:300:04:34

It has special wind shields along each side to protect traffic

0:04:340:04:37

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

0:04:370:04:42

much needed on the windy Forth Estuary.

0:04:420:04:46

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

0:04:460:04:50

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

0:04:500:04:54

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

0:04:540:04:58

in a lifetime chance to walk across the bridge.

0:04:580:05:02

Nearly five times that number applied.

0:05:020:05:04

Most are from Scotland and the rest of the UK,

0:05:040:05:07

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

0:05:070:05:13

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

0:05:130:05:16

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

0:05:160:05:20

Then on Thursday next week, the Queensferry crossing

0:05:200:05:23

will open for business.

0:05:230:05:27

Now, take a look at a very special toilet.

0:05:270:05:29

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

0:05:290:05:33

Designed by an Italian artist, it's been installed

0:05:330:05:36

in New York's Guggenheim Museum.

0:05:360:05:38

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

0:05:380:05:42

already queued up to spend a penny.

0:05:420:05:47

That's all from me.

0:05:470:05:48

Newsround's back right here at 4:20pm.

0:05:480:05:52

Have a great day and don't forget to head online for all the rest

0:05:520:05:55
