On 15 August 1997, ITN's cameras caught what would turn out to be the last footage of Diana, Princess of Wales recorded by ITN before her death in a Paris car crash two weeks later. Standing on the corner of Penywern Road in Earl's Court, London, the camera crew filmed an upbeat Diana swaggering out of the gym and getting into a waiting car.

The Princess of Wales was seen wearing a Harvard sweatshirt and cycle shorts – her signature gymwear. For a while, Diana had worn the same Virgin Atlantic sweatshirt every day in order to annoy the lurking paparazzi, who would struggle to sell shots of her looking the same every day.

On 14 April 2009, Sinéad O'Connor sat down with ITN's Lucrezia Millarini to discuss the upcoming reissue of her acclaimed second album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got. The album featured O'Connor's version of the Prince song "Nothing Compares 2 U", which became a number one hit for O'Connor in multiple countries, propelling her to international fame. O'Connor reflected on a variety of topics in her interview including meeting Prince, the importance of allowing her audience freedom of interpretation, the process of collaboration, her history of outspoken activism and protest, life on the road since becoming a mother, and having musical children.

On 26 July 2023, the family of Sinead O’Connor announced "with great sadness" that Sinead had died aged 56. Adding that "her family and friends are devastated", the statement requested "privacy at this very difficult time."

English-French actress and singer Jane Birkin has died aged 76. Known for her hit single "Je t'aime... moi non plus" recorded with then-husband Serge Gainsbourg as well as being the inspiration behind the Hermès Birkin designer handbag, Jane Birkin has been mourned as a "French icon" by President Emmanuel Macron.

In February 2002, Birkin spoke to ITN about her relationship with Serge Gainsbourg. With Gainsbourg's Parisian left-bank apartment being turned into a museum, Birkin spoke about her relief that the space was finally being appreciated. Joined by Serge's daughter, actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin also shared memories of the bohemian lifestyle she and Serge led while married.

Beginning on this day in 1995, the Bosnian town of Srebrenica became the site of the first genocide on the European continent since the Holocaust. Over a period of three weeks, over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims were killed in a genocidal massacre at the hands of the Army of Republika Srpska (Vojska Republike Srpske, or VRS) led by General Ratko Mladić. Proclaimed following the break up of Yugoslavia, Republika Srpska was a Serb secessionist republic within the newly independent Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The massacre at Srebrenica was part of a years-long campaign of ethnic cleansing and other crimes against humanity perpetrated by the VRS and other Serbian paramilitary forces that targetted the Bosnian Muslim – or Bosniak – community in the territory controlled by Republika Srpska. The violence took place during the Bosnian War of 1992–1995 and is now recognised as the Bosnian Genocide by a number of bodies including the United States Congress and the EU Parliament.

In July 1996, Channel 4 News travelled to Srebrenica to report on the ongoing efforts to collect the harrowing evidence of the events of the previous year. As mass graves were being uncovered, the survivors of Srebrenica were wrestling with the dilemma of recovering the bodies of those lost. At the time, prospects for identifying the dead were uncertain, and the bereaved struggled to balance the possibility of closure with the finality of knowing the fate of their loved ones.

On this day in 2005, London was the target of an Al Qaeda-directed su***de attack. During the morning rush hour, four su***de bombers targeted commuters travelling on the capital's public transport network, three bombs detonating almost simultaneously on the London Underground tube system and a fourth on a number 30 double-decker bus in Tavistock Square. Aside from the perpertrators, the attack killed 52 people and injured over 700.

The bombings occurred while the G8 summit was convening at the Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder, Scotland. There, British Prime Minister Tony Blair was meeting with other G8 leaders including US President George W Bush, French President Jacques Chirac, German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, and Russian President Vladimir Putin. This clip shows in full the two speeches given by Tony Blair at Gleneagles in his capacity as Prime Minister and on behalf of the G8 and it ends with the brief press conference held by George Bush that afternoon, in which the American president offered his solidarity to the people of Britain.

"I do the same thing in Ghana, do it in Corona, 'cause she's with me, you know?"

On this day in 1971, Louis Armstrong suffered a fatal heart attack in his sleep while staying in the Queens neighbourhood of Corona in New York City. Aged 69, Armstrong had suffered a heart attack earlier in the year after playing a two-week engagement in the Empire Room of the Waldorf-Estoria in Manhattan, despite having been told not to by his doctor. Throughout his life, Armstrong had put his love of playing above his own health. His constant playing of the trumpet (or "the horn" as Louis called it) caused him long-term lip damage and, at the time of his death, the jazz legend was impatient to get out of recovery and back on the road.

Born in New Orleans and known by the affectionate nicknames of Satchmo, Satch, and Pops, Louis Armstrong is considered one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time. Best known for songs such as "What a Wonderful World", "Dream a Little Dream of Me", and "La Vie en Rose", Armstrong's music is immediately recognisable. In a career spanning five decades, Armstrong's distinctive voice and virtuosic trumpet playing earned him a level of popular acclaim that transcended the divisions of segregation-era America. Armstrong had for a long time drawn criticism from fellow African American artists and activists for his political quiescence on the subject of segregation and civil rights. As a result of his apparent neutrality on the issue, Armstrong enjoyed a level of access to American high society that few other Black artists enjoyed. That all changed with his outspoken intervention in the Little Rock crisis in Arkansas, in which he attacked President Eisenhower and his government for being "two-faced" and having "no guts". Thereafter, Armstrong became a vocal proponent of the Civil Rights Movement.

On 27 February 1959, Louis Armstrong spoke to ITN's Peter Hopkirk upon arriving at London Airport. Armstrong fielded questions about his love of playing jazz around the world, from Ghana to Corona. "All of 'em is favourite spots... Every time I look around I got the horn in front of me, my public, and jammin' with the cats that I know."

5 July 2023 marks the 75th anniversary of the creation of the National Health Service, more commonly known as the NHS. Founded in 1948 under Clement Attlee's post-war Labour government, the creation of the NHS was spearheaded by Aneurin 'Nye' Bevan, Attlee's Minister of Health. Often ranked highly in lists of Welsh heroes and Britain's most influential politicians, Bevan based the National Health Service on the Tredegar Medical Aid Society in his hometown in South Wales, which provided medical care free at point-of-need to the people of Tredegar.

Following Bevan's death, ITN's Huw Thomas travelled to Tredegar to speak to those who had known Bevan in the community, including a woman who had known Bevan at school and a man who had worked with Bevan in the coal mines when they were both 13 years old. Thomas also spoke to the Matron of Lewisham Hospital to understand what he meant to the medical profession.

Happy birthday to the News at Ten! 🥳 🎉 🎊

On 3 July 1967, ITN broadcast the first ever News at Ten. The 30-minute late-night bulletin aimed to give a longer, more in-depth run-down of the daily news. For 56 years (barring a couple of hiatuses and scheduling changes), News at Ten has seen millions tune in every night for a detailed and entertaining breakdown of the day's events.

A telerecording of the original first broadcast of News at Ten, unfortunately, does not survive. This clip is a sequence of the footage and reports that made up the first programme, minus reporter voiceover and studio presentation. The day's stories on 3 July? The National Union of Railwaymen (NUR) called off a planned train strike; while in London to visit Prime Minister Harold Wilson, King Hussein of Jordan was interviewed by ITN about the Israeli occupation of Jerusalem following the Six-Day War; Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh attended Expo '67 in Canada; the people of New Haven celebrated the return of the Gipsy Moth IV, recently sailed around the globe by Francis Chichester; King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand left London; and John Edwards looked at the possible effects of the Six-Day War on Jordan's tourism industry.
