The yacht used by Diana, Princess of Wales, and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, for their final summer holiday in the South of France has sunk off the French Riviera after hitting an unidentified object.

Police said seven people on board were rescued unharmed following the accident, but the yacht sank to the bottom of the Mediterranean at a depth of almost 8,200ft.
