A pocket-sized colour TV and a Kylie Minogue album were among the items Diana, Princess of Wales, placed in a time capsule more than 30 years ago, which has now been opened.

A solar-powered calculator, tree seeds in a bottle and a collection of each British coin up to the value of £1 to mark the 20th anniversary of decimalisation were also included in the 1991 collection.

The items were chosen by children who suggested eight items representing life in the 1990s for a BBC Blue Peter competition.

The then Princess of Wales, who died in a Paris car crash in 1997, buried the container at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) in London in March 1991.

The capsule was dug up early as the construction of a new children's cancer centre begins.
