Overview

• The contents, chosen via a BBC Blue Peter competition by two children, included a Kylie Minogue CD, a pocket TV, a solar-powered calculator, British coins, tree seeds, a snowflake hologram, recycled paper, a European passport, a copy of The Times, and a photo of Diana.
• Several items showed moisture damage yet remained intact and clearly recognizable.
• Hospital staff who worked at GOSH in 1991 or were born that year were invited to help remove the lead-encased box.
• Jason Dawson of the Children’s Cancer Centre project noted Diana’s enduring connection to the hospital.
• GOSH describes the new centre as a national resource for treating childhood cancers, and there are hopes to place a new time capsule under the redevelopment.
