This shot of Princess Diana sitting on the diving board of the private yacht "Jonikal," owned by her boyfriend, Mohammed Al Fayed, is from the final holiday she ever took. In the summer of 1997, Diana was trying to reinvent herself, to remove herself from the public eye and become a person again.

In late July she traveled to Saint Tropez in the South of France where she spent time on Fayed's yacht and the Fayed family's 30-bedroom villa, Castle St. Therese, with her sons, William and Harry. It's clear from this photo that even when she was alone she was never really alone.

Photographers were constantly hounding her, even when she was in the middle of the ocean. There was nowhere she could go where she was safe.

This chilling image of an assassin pointing his gun right at the camera is absolutely horrifying. Taken by Philippine councilman Reynaldo Dagsa on New Year's Day, this shot features Dagsa's family and his killer, and while it's absolutely mortifying to think that this was the last thing that Dagsa saw before his death, his quick thinking helped catch his killer. The Philippine Daily Inquirer writes:

Chief Inspector Cresencio Galvez, Caloocan police intelligence chief, said the suspects were known car thieves and holduppers out on bail. It is likely that they bear a grudge against Dagsa who had them arrested last year, he said.

Thanks to the photo the assassin was caught, and his accomplice was picked up in a different police raid on the same day.
