Plageman said of AP photographer Petros Giannakouris' photo, "This is one of the most interesting fire photos I've seen in a long time."

Plageman also highlighted the coverage of a memorial service for Princess Diana, showing this photo of princes Charles, Harry and William. This is the 10-year anniversary of Diana's death.
