Good afternoon and welcome to Newsround.

First up: It's been 20 years since a huge event

for the Royal Family, when Princess Diana,

the mother of Princes' William and Harry, died.

So who was she, and what happened?

Watch this...

Diana Spencer was born back 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 that,

and I want to do that.

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

when 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's died.

Like myself, 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'd

lived to leave flowers, cards 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.

Moving on...

It's the last day of the football transfer window in the UK.

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

The biggest deals so far today are Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain joining

Liverpool from Arsenal and Spurs signing defender Serge Aurier

from Paris St Germain.

In Houston, Texas, people are still dealing with the huge

flooding caused by Storm Harvey.

As well as people, pets need help too.

Newsround has been to a shelter to see what's being done to help

animals who've lost their homes or been separated from their owners.

Here's reporter Paul Blake.

Hey Newsround!

It's not just people sheltering here at the Convention Centre.

It's their four-legged friends too.

This is Skip.

He's a dog here in Houston, who tried to ride out

the storm with his owner.

But then on Monday, the water started to come all the way

into his house and he had to escape in a boat!

His friend, the doctor here, has a picture of him

in the local paper escaping!

When dogs like Skip come here, what sort of services do they get?

They get the same care as their owners.

Food, water, shelter, medical care.

We give vaccines if they need it.

They are allowed to stay with their owners.

Give them crates and leashes.

So they are not taken away.

They stay the whole time.

We have people come here to make sure they're getting walked,

get fed, all the good stuff.

One of the interesting things I've read is there's now a priority

placed on getting pets out of these disaster zones with owners.

Is that true?

That's true.

It's amazing to see the efforts.

We know we have saved countless lives.

Not just animals, people.

For many, this is their only family.

They won't abandon them.

They have been allowed to come.

We talked to Skip's owner.

They'll go back tomorrow.

For now, he's happy here!

That's all from the team today, Newsround's back right here at 7:40

tomorrow morning with Ricky.

Bye!

Yo, people!
