The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial

              There have been many bronze memorials erected in 

              London over centuries to commemorate the deeds of

              noteworthy personalties, statesmen,generals,inventors,

              philanthrophists and dignitaries, but there is one which 

              stands out in the public eye which also commands

             the attention of two young lads,young royals,who lost

             their devoted mother, in the prime of life,as much as 
             their own lives. 
 
            Today at 3 p.m.1 July 2021, on a sultry summer afternoon, at
             Kensington Place gardens,London,some 24 years later the
             same two Princes, Prince William and Prince Harry joined
             together to commemorate the memory of their dearly
             departed mother,Diana,Princess of Wales, by unveiling
             a life size memorial, in front of a select, small crowd
             without much fanfare. 

     

             It was what would have been their mother's 60th birthday.

 

                                                              

               
                    There were no speeches,no tamasha,"to remember her 

                    love, and motherly qualities that made her a force for good,

                     changing lives around the world". 

 

                     The sculpture is the work of Ian Rank-Broadley, which

                     depicts Diana's warmth, elegance and energy with three

                     children beside, (one hidden) to represent her work.

 

                     Crowds gathered outside the metal black and gold gates

                     of Kensington Palace Sunken Gardens with fans pinning

                     flowers and photos,outside.   

                                            

                     The Sunken Gardens in front of her memorial was originally

                     created by King Edward VII in 1908 and now features a 

                     variety of Diana's favourite spring and summer English 

                     scented blooms including 200 roses,100 forget-me-nots,

                     300 tulips and about 500 lavender shoots.  

 

                    As members of the Royal family, both brothers, Diana's 

                    sons jointly seem to publicly remember their mother and 

                    their privately genuine love for her, etched on this statue 

                    that they worked together to create.
