For him Diana inquest is just the ticket Posted Tuesday February PM Filed Under London England Petra Cahill By Alexa Chopivsky NBC News Correspondent Tuesday was Day at the London inquest into the deaths of Diana Princess of Wales and Dodi al Fayed. So far the jury has heard from priests and pathologists soothsayers and Scotland Yard butlers bartenders and best friends videocam toting tourists and toxicologists ex girlfriends and ambassadors masseuses forensic experts and eyewitnesses journalists and jewelers professors an! d pathologists intelligence officers doctors bodyguards ambulance drivers and financial analysts onetime car dealership managers and Diana relatives psychiatrists the French Brigade Criminelle and a British Member of Parliament. All connected some in big ways some small to events surrounding the crash. Alexa Chopivsky NBC News John Loughrey shows off the face paint he wears everyday to the London inquest into the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi al Fayed. Truly a colorful cast. But surely the most outstanding character at the Royal Courts of Justice ground zero for the proceedings is year old John Loughrey who quit his job as a chef outside London so that he could do this inquest. I m probably one of Diana s most loyal fans he boasts his face painted as it is every day with Diana and Dodi straddling his nose in blue. Everybody knows me in the courtroom. I want to know the truth Loughrey is the court entertainer of sorts playing his supporting role by sitting in the public ! gallery every day of the hearings. During a break he nods familiarly to a lawyer representing the Metropolitan Police whose investigation into the crash determined that the tragedy was the result of an alcohol fueled accident and not as some allege foul play. I want to know the truth about the crash which I think was an accident Loughrey says. It is also why he came to the Royal Courts on Oct. the day before the inquest opened sleeping on the ground with his coat as a blanket. I thought the tickets would be in great demand. I had worried about getting in. I was the only person here at a.m. on the first day. Every morning since he gets on the court s public ticket line at a.m. The prize Ticket Number . He says that key players in the trial from Mohamed al Fayed to former Metropolitan Police commissioner Lord Condon to ex Dodi girlfriend Kelly Fisher to Diana friend Rosa Monkton have signed hisNumber tickets one for every day of the trial. He plans to sell them on eBay anddonate all the profits to Prince Harry s Well Child Charity when the inque! st is done. Diana was a few steps forward than everyone else says Loughrey. She was big in charity in helping poor people. She put her royal toe on the line to care for people. At the end of the day he goes home to his sister who paints his face as she has done every night since October with the two names that star in this inquest Diana and Dodi. It s too early to do it in the morning and I can t do it myself explains Loughrey who says he gets only four hours of sleep. I have to sleep on my back or else it will smudge. EMAIL THIS Comments He certainly could use the likes of Princess Diana once the trial is over and he realizes he is in dire need of charity for lack of income. John Rupert NY NY Sent Wednesday February AM Thanks to John Loughrey as I think he represents many concerned citizens around the world who would like the truth revealed about Lady Di as She was someone to be admired. We are right behind you John here in South Africa. Carol Ann Smit Gauteng South Africa! Sent Wednesday February AM Sadly I also believe its just a horrible accident. Those that believe otherwise will not be happy until someone says for a fact it was murder. Some people just will not rest until their theory is proved correct. HRH Diana Sorry but I feel she was more royal then most who still hold the title was fantastic in raising funds for her charities. She worked herself into the ground to prove they were worthy of our dollars. Its very sad she died so young. Ann Ann Buffalo IA Sent Wednesday February AM Get over it ray Sent Wednesday February AM I am sure that this tragedy will some day finally be ended. If it was murder it will come out. Rarely does that not come true. But the time has come to let it rest. She was a rich woman that tried to do some good. She had no real job in life or really any purpose but to spend money that she didn t really do anything for. Ok she did charity work around the globe. But what did she do for that money What did she do to earn that money All that money spent on those Royals could be used else! where. From what I hear they don t really belong in that position in the first place. But then I could be wrong. Just let Diana be in peace. Joe Sent Wednesday February AM What a sad man. Get a life. Diana wasn t the saint everyone thinks she was. And remember the one wearing a seat belt in the accident was the only person to survive the crash. Paul Abingdon England Sent Wednesday February AM If you don t order the driver of your car to drive safely under the speed limit or get out of the car you deserve to die. Lady DI did. She endangered the lives of all of the people in the car and many more on the road even those who had to deal with the obstructed traffic after the accident. She could have ordered the car to stop and got out and walked if DODI did not have the driver drive safely. Traffic accidents cause far more deaths and maiming than unexploded mines. Not a single pence should be expended on futher proceedings in this matter if it was known that the driver had unlaw! ful levels of alcohol or other substances in his blood of if it was known that he at any time exceeded the lawful speed or failed to have himself and his passengers use any required safety restraints. The owner of the car and employer of the driver and the estates of DI and DODI should be charged for the full expenses of all the govenmental investigations. DI did DIE and DO DI did die as well because they encouraged the driver to violate safety laws and proceedures simply to avoid a few pictures from being taken. DI never ran away from cameras when she was holding child maimed by bombs then why was she shy of being photografed holding a man obviously maimed by wealth and his father. Henry Gibson Sent Wednesday February PM Sorry but what a sad man.what a waste of ones time. Lady Di died because of a horrile accident.believe it. Who do people think the royal family are.it s crazy.they did not have her kiiled. Dodi s family want to put blame on the Royal family maybe because they are ashamed that they had a drunk drivng Lady Diane around. Dodi s ! father needs to let Lady Di rest in peace and let her sons live their life without his accessions against their grandparents. please let it go. DL Manchester UK Sent Wednesday February PM Dear Joe Abingdon England .What did Diana do to earn the money she gave to the poor you ask .She prostituted her Soul to the Royals . but NOT for the royals.She did not seek ask or valenteer for the position of princess . She was recruited for the job. Just as the U.S. Army does here .What the Royals did not bargain for was the fact that they were dealing with the biggest heart in all England and not only would she use their money to help the poor but that the world would fall in love with her and she would replace the present queen and be known as she will always be THE QUEEN OF HEARTS .So you and Paul and Ray and the rest of you who feel the same Sorry God has his reasons for doing things. She had a mission. She accomplished it early. I miss her. Every time I saw her on the tele I would ! say You go girl .
