Channel 4 Diana documentary

A few weeks ago Channel 4 showed a documentary on UK television that intended to show images of the crash the Princess died in. I didn't watch it so I can't really comment on the documentary but I can on the decision to broadcast it. Her sons apparently requested that the pictures were not included and this was an unprecedented request. Channel 4 decided to go ahead regardless. I wonder how the makers of this programme and those that decided to broadcast it would feel if they had lost a family member in a crash and a TV company decided to show pictures of their loved ones dying moments. I wonder if they'd be quite so sure it was in the so called public interest. Channel 4 is often criticised for the drivel it dresses up as cutting-edge television, I normally think just don't watch it if you don't like it. But even knowing this documentary was going to be on sickened me. What possible reason have they for showing these pictures? And who exactly does it help? They should be ashamed, and I hope they are.
