Diana burial site tickets selling fast

About half the advance tickets to visit the burial site of Diana, Princess of Wales, have been sold within three days of going on sale.

Organisers predict that the remaining eighty thousand tickets will sell fast.

From July, visitors will be able to tour the Princess' ancestral home, but won't be allowed to set foot on the lake island where she is buried.Meanwhile, the Princess' brother, Earl Spencer has dismissed criticism of the admission fee of about ten pounds, or fifteen dollars and the lack of any announcement outlining how much of the proceeds will go to the Diana memorial fund.

A spokeswoman said he'd invested several million pounds in allowing public access -- and when that had been recouped, profits would go to the fund.
