DIANA MEMORIAL

Location

Diana Princess Of Wales Memorial Fountain

West Carriage Drive London W2 2UH

Disabled buggies run free of charge on

Half- hourly trips, and will even drop and pick you

up from your favourite spots.

Appearance

A large Cornish granite ring, with water running around it; which flows in two different directions at different speeds. The ring is designed to sit like a necklace on the contours of the land to represent Diana’s all encompassing approach / personality and how she was like the final piece (of jewellery) that finished us (Britain) in our makeup. It includes 3 bridges which take you to the heart of the fountain.

Atmosphere

An area of quiet contemplation ; next to hustle and bustle of the park – Alexs’ opinion.

An area for quiet contemplation and reflection of life – Sallys’ opinion. http://www.google.co.uk/url?source=imgres&ct=img&q=http://image36.webshots.com/37/6/10/80/2820610800093289188TLihIL_ph.jpg&sa=X&ei=lG5YTa7mFJHy4QaJ9tyKBw&ved=0CAQQ8wc4Ew&usg=AFQjCNEILq2tFTk3Xej0Dc4hrLpAbE5Eww
