Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain , London

This unique Memorial to Diana, Princess of Wales was opened in Hyde Park by Her Majesty The Queen on 6th July 2004. Princess Diana, mother of Princes William and Harry died in a car accident in Paris in August 1997.

The fountain was designed by Kathryn Gustafson, an American landscape artist, and cost £3.6 million. It was built with the best materials, talent and technology. It contains 545 pieces of Cornish granite, pieced together using traditional skills.

The design aims to reflect Diana's life, water flows from the highest point in two directions as it cascades, swirls and bubbles before meeting in a calm pool at the bottom. The water is constantly being refreshed and is drawn from London's water table.

The Memorial also symbolises Diana's quality and openness. There are three bridges where you can cross the water and go right to the heart of the fountain.
