Tributes to Princess Diana
(CNN) -- People of all walks of life were moved to remark on the life of Princess Diana in the days after her death.
Here are a few highlights from the mass of public and personal tributes.
U.S. President Bill Clinton
"We admired her work for children, for people with AIDS, for the cause of ending the scourge of land mines in the world, and for her love for her children, William and Harry."
Iolanda Goodfellow, Chicago resident who flew to London
"She was someone you felt you could pick up the phone and talk to. ... She had a sense of strength. She showed dignity despite her troubles."
Lady Colin Campbell, biographer
"... she was a very complex person. She tantalized people, because although they absolutely believed the surface image, somewhere down the line they sensed that there was more to her."
Children at Salisbury Primary School in London, which held a special program to help them grieve

British Prime Minister Tony Blair
"How many times shall we remember her, in how many different ways -- with the sick, the dying, with children, with the needy? When, with just a look or a gesture that spoke so much more than words, she would reveal to all of us the depth of her compassion and her humanity. She was the people's princess."
Elizabeth Dole, American Red Cross president
"People related to her because she's a very compassionate person, and she was concerned for those who were vulnerable around the world, those with dire human needs. She reached out to them. She held them in her arms. ... She gave of herself. She was a passionate person who truly cared."
Geoffrey Crawford, Queen's Press Secretary
"The princess was a much loved national figure, but she was also a mother whose sons miss her deeply."
