MOHAMED Al-Fayed was "very, very ill" before he died but will now finally be at peace with son Dodi and Princess Diana, his friend Uri Geller said last night.
The late Egyptian billionaire and former owner of Harrods and Fulham FC passed away, aged 94, on Wednesday - just hours before the 26th anniversary of the fatal car crash that claimed the couple's lives.
Spoon-bending psychic Uri, 76, believes the timing was no coincidence.
He told us: "He is now with his son and Princess Diana.
"He totally believed in life after death. He was an openminded person.
"It's extraordinary that he died a day before Princess Diana's and Dodi's deaths.
TIMED
"To me this is a sign from above from Dodi and Diana, 26 years later. This is incredible.
"Who knows, maybe he himself timed his death to coincide with the deaths of his son and Princess Diana.
Al-Fayed was laid to rest by Dodi in a tomb on the family's 226-acre estate in Oxted, Surrey, on Friday.
He is believed to have left a £1.6billion fortune to his wife Heini Wathén, 68, and their four children.
But he had only a modest private funeral at London's Central Mosque.
