DIANA,PRINCESS OF WALES

DIANA,PRINCESS OF WALES WAS A SPECIAL PERSON. HER LIFE WAS PRECIOUS AND WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. SHE DID SO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD, SHE GRACED US WITH HER BEAUTY, SHARED PEOPLES PAIN, AND LOVED THE UNLOVED AS NO ONE ELSE COULD. SHE IS DEEPLY MISSED , BUT HER MEMORY IS ALIVE IN MY HEART. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE HAPPY TIMES DIANA GAVE US, HER SONS WILLIAM AND HARRY ARE HER LEGACY ALONG WITH HER GREATEST LEGACY

LOVE...

DIANA WAS LOVE... AND IS LOVE... AND ALWAYS WILL BE

...LOVE...

DIANAS SMILE LIT UP THE STREETAND EVERYONE THERE SMILED AS WELL... THIS IS DIANA THROUGH MY CAMERA LENS, SHE WAS EVERYTHING AND MORE, MUCH MORE.

THE DAY I MET DIANA PRINCESS OF WALES WAS A DAY I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE I SAW HER OPEN A LOCAL CENTRE POINT CLINIC IN 1987 . SHE WAS EVERYTHING AND MORE ...AND SO BEAUTIFUL...IT WAS LIKE BEING IN A DREAM.... THAT WAS THE ONLY TIME I SAW OUR LOVELY PRINCESS ...BUT HER MEMORY IS ALWAYS WITH ME.

SPECIAL MOMENTS AND MEMORIES IN WORDS AND PICTURES ...THAT I HAVE OF DIANA.

THIS PICTURE OF DIANA REPRESENTS A TIME FOR ME WHEN SHE WAS SO SWEET AND NATURAL, A TIME WHEN I BECAME ENTRANCED BY EVERYTHING SHE DID. A TIME WHEN MILLIONS BEGAN TO ADORE HER.

THIS PICTURE OF DIANA AND HER BELOVED BOYS WILLIAM AND HARRY SHOWS THE CLOSENESS OF MOTHERLY LOVE . THEY ARE TWO VERY PRECIOUS BOYS AND I HOPE THEY CHERISH THEIR MOTHERS MEMORY. GOD BLESS YOU WILLIAM AND HARRY.

DIANA DAZZLED US ALL SO OFTEN THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE DRESSES AND PICTURES FROM THIS TIME , THE TIME, WHEN DIANA DAZZLED THE WORLD.

DIANA WAS BEAUTIFUL AND A MODEL PRINCESS BUT SHE WAS MORE THAN THAT, SHE HAD BEAUTY INSIDE AS WELL AS OUTSIDE, AND SHE SHARED THIS WITH US ALL.

THIS WAS DIANAS LAST PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT AND THIS PICTURE SAYS EVERYTHING ABOUT HER... , BEAUTY, KINDNESS, GENTLENESS AND JUST SIMPLY WONDERFUL.

DIANA HAD THE ABILITY TO CARE FOR EVERYONE SHE SAW , YOUNG AND OLD, SHE COULD REACH OUT AND TOUCH THEM BRINGING JOY TO ALL WHO MET HER. SHE HAD A KIND OF MAGIC THAT SURROUNDED HER AND SHE SHARED THIS MAGIC TO MAKE PEOPLE VERY HAPPY.

DIANA IS SO HAPPY HERE DOING GOOD FOR OTHERS HELPING THOSE LESS FORTUNATE THAN HERSELF, DIANA CHOSE TO DO THIS , IT WAS HER LOVE, A LOVE FOR OTHERS AND A GIFT TO SHOW IT, A RARE GIFT THAT SHE FOUND AND USED.

AUGUST 31ST 1997 WAS LIKE ANY OTHER DAY UNTIL 9.10AM WHEN I LEARNED THE DREADFUL NEWS... WE HAD LOST DIANA... THE WORLD HAD CHANGED HOW COULD SHE BE GONE? THE FOLLOWING WEEK WAS A WEEK OF SORROW AND LOVE AND HOPE AND PRAYERS, A WEEK TO REFLECT AND THINK ABOUT LIFE AND LOVE. ENDING WITH A UNIQUE FUNERAL FOR A UNIQUE PERSON, DIANA WAS LAID TO REST AT ALTHORP , BACK HOME AND SAFE, FACING THE RISING SUN. IN A PERFECT PEACFUL PLACE.
Diana - Princess of Wales 1961 - 1997

MY JOURNEYS IN MEMORY OF OUR PRINCESS

JOURNEY TO LONDON OCTOBER 1997

THE FLOWERS WERE GONE... BUT I WAS HERE AT LAST. MY VISIT TO LONDON IN OCTOBER 1997 WAS THE FIRST CHANCE I GOT TO GO AND PAY MY RESPECTS. IT WAS A DAY OF MIXED EMOTIONS ...A DAY THAT HAD TO BE...I SET OFF WITH MY FAMILY AND A BUNCH OF FLOWERS WITH A MESSAGE ATTATCHED. I FOLLOWED THE FUNERAL ROUTE...IT WAS STRANGE... I COULD HEAR THE HORSES HOOVES ALONG THE ROAD... THE FLOWERS WERE THERE... THE PEOPLE... AND EVRYTHING WAS AS IT WAS THAT DAY. FOR ME, I WAS THERE. ON THE PALACE GATES THE SIGN "DIANA OF LOVE" HUNG FOR ALL TO SEE, AND THE SMELL OF FLOWERS AND THE SADDNESS OF THE PEOPLE WAS PRESENT. I WALKED A SAD SLOW SILENCE... DEEP IN THOUGHT. SHE HAD COME HERE ON HER FINAL JOURNEY AND I THOUGHT MY HEART WOULD BREAK. ON ARRIVAL AT WESTMINSER ABBEY IT WAS THE SAME... THE MUSIC INSIDE; THE SLOW PROCESSION DOWN THE ASILE, I WAS THERE ...I HAD MADE IT... I WAS HERE AT LAST. KENSINGTON PALACE AND THE BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN GATES... THE NEXT STOP. I APPROACHED THE GATES, AND THERE WAS WHAT I WANTED TO SEE... THE GATES HAD THE FLOWERS AND THE MESSAGES ONLY A FEW BUT YES THEY WERE THERE... I PLACED MINE AMONG THEM AND LOOKED OUT TO WHERE THE SEA OF FLOWERS HAD BEEN... I HAD PLACED MINE WHERE THEY BELONGED. I STAYED A WHILE AT THE PALACE ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS. AND AS I WALKED AWAY... A YOUNG MAN WAS COMING UP TOWARDS THE GATES HOLDING A SINGLE RED ROSE... THAT WAS A SYMBOL TO ME... HE SAID IT ALLSHE WAS LOVED BY ALL AND WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR EVER.

JOURNEY TO ALTHORPE 1998

THE OVALDIANA'S FINAL RESTING PLACE

THE JOURNEY TO ALTHORP WAS A DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET, ARRIVING NEAR THE SMALL VILLAGES THAT DIANA HAD BEEN THROUGH SO MANY TIMES AND HAD PASSED THROUGH ON HER LAST JOURNEY, ON HER WAY HOME. IT WAS A DAY OF MIXED FEELINGS AND IN SOME WAYS UNREALITY, HERE I WAS WHERE OUR DEAREST DIANA IS LAID TO REST. IT DIDNT SEEM REAL TO ME. I VISITED THE CHURCH FIRST AND IT WAS SO PEACEFUL AND SILENT THEN WALKED BACK TO THE HOUSE. THE HOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL ,BUT THAT WASN'T WHY I WAS HERE I HAD TO GET TO THE OVAL AND THE TEMPLE AND WHEN I DID IT WAS WONDERFUL. IT WAS EVERYTHING ABOUT DIANA, PEACFUL, BEAUTIFUL ,TRANQUIL AND A PLACE YOU FELT YOU HAD TO BE. A QUIET WALK ROUND THE LAKE THINKING AND LOOKING DEEP IN THOUGHT... LED TO THE TEMPLE, THE WORDS ON THERE WERE ALMOST TOO HARD TO BEAR AND I LAID MY FLOWERS AND A THREE PAGE LONG MESSAGE TO DIANA... PEOPLE WERE JUST STILL AND NOBODY WAS TALKING ALL WE HAD WERE MEMORIES.. DIANAS ISLAND IS SMALL, AND SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL RIPPLING WATER...THE SUN SHONE THERE THAT DAY, IT SHONE FOR DIANA.

MY FLOWERS FOR OUR PRINCESS

THE WALK BACK TO THE STABLE WAS QUIET AND A MILLION THOUGHTS RAN THROUGH MY HEAD, I SAW ALL THAT I HAD WANTED TO SEE, THE WEDDING DRESS, THE CHILDHOOD ITEMS AND THE FUNERAL ROOM WAS TO MUCH TO BEAR. DIANAS CHARITY WORK REMEMBERED AND EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT... BUT THE ROOM WITH ALL HER BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES WAS TOO MUCH FOR ME ...THE TEARS CAME... THEY BROKE MY HEART. I TOOK IN EVERY LITTLE DETAIL OF EVERY ITEM AND WAS IN THERE FOREVER IT SEEMED. THE BOOKS OF CONDOLENCE FILLED A WALL AND THAT WAS JUST A SELECTION. OH HOW SHE WAS LOVED... DIANAS MUSEUM AND MEMORIAL IS PERFECT, A PERFECT PLACE IN MEMORY OF A MUCH LOVED PRINCESS. A PLACE FOR US TO TREASURE.

"NOTHING BRINGS ME MORE HAPPINESS THAN TRYING TO HELP THE MOST VUNERABLE POEPLE IN SOCIETY. IT IS A GOAL AND AN ESSENTIAL PART OF MY LIFEA KIND OF DESTINY. WHOEVER IS IN DISTRESS CAN CALL ON ME AND I WILL COME RUNNING, WHEREVER THEY ARE." DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES JUNE 1997

JOURNEY TO LONDON AUGUST 31ST 1998

THERE WAS ONLY ONE PLACE I WANTED TO BE ON AUGUST 31ST AND THAT WAS OUTSIDE DIANAS HOME WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LOVED HER AND LAY MY FLOWERS WITH THEIRS. WHEN I ARRIVED WITH MY SISTER, AT KENSINGTON PALACE, I WAS OVERCOME BY THE FLOWERS , SO MANY AND THE PEOPLE JUST LOOKING, GAZING AND THINKING. IT WAS STILL HARD TO BELIEVE THAT A YEAR HAD GONE BY WITHOUT DIANA. IN THE MESSAGES AND FLOWERS AND PEOPLES FACES YOU COULD SEE THE PAIN OF EACH MONTH , THE SORROW OF EACH DAY AND THE THOUGHTS OF EACH MINUTE THAT HAD PASSED SINCE SHE LEFT US. HER SMILING , BEAUTIFUL FACE ,THE IMAGE ON MANY A MESSAGE. IT WAS THE PERFECT PLACE TO BE. WE WERE HERE TO REMEMBER THE DAY WE LOST OUR PRINCESS BECAUSE WE HAD TO BE.

FLOWERS AT HARRODS1998

I LAID TWO FLOWERS AT HARRODS UNDER THE GOLDEN STATUE ONE FOR DIANA AND ONE FOR DODI. DODI BROUGHT DIANA HAPPINESS IN HER LAST WEEKS OF LIFE. DODI GAVE HER THAT HAPPINESS AND I WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL TO HIM FOR THAT. GOD BLESS YOU DODI AND THANK YOU , FOR MAKING OUR BELOVED PRINCESS HAPPY.

MY JOURNEYS ARE SAD JOURNEYS IN MEMORY OF DIANA BUT, I ALSO HAVE LOTS MORE HAPPY MEMORIES, DIANA FILLED A LOT OF PEOPLES LIVES LIKE MINE WITH A LOT OF PLEASURE. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL, WARM, KIND AND BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT. I HOPE MY TRIBUTE REFLECTS THIS. DIANA YOUR MEMORY IS A TREASURE TO ME, YOU ARE EVERYTHING GOOD IN THIS WORLD AND YOUR LIGHT WILL SHINE FOREVER ON THE PEOPLE WHO YOU LOVE. GOD BLESS YOU DIANA AND THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES, MEMORIES THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY.

I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MARIA FOR MAKING THIS TRIBUTE POSSIBLE AND FOR HER TIME AND CARE AS SHE DID THIS FOR ME, THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS VERY SPECIAL TO ME. LOVE JULIE

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU
