Last week when I was jogging around the Serpentine, I also diverted the short distance to the Diana Memorial, which was fairly quiet at the time. I snapped a couple of pictures and then realized its ten years since the accident, this week.
The memorial is quite a contrast to the normal statues and obelisks sprinkled around London. A long circuit of water, actually two flows that meander from a source to a lower destination like two halves of an 'O'.
I was around the palace/abbey area at the time it was all happening and remember the sheer volume of flowers at Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Kensington Palace. Looking back at some of the photos on google doesn't really convey the scale, compared with walking through the area at the time.
