Diana, Princess of Wales
"Goodbye England's rose,
May you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itself
where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name."
This tartan which has several colour variations was designed by Alistair Buchan, Chairman of Lochcarron of Scotland to commemorate the life of Diana Princess of Wales and to raise money for her many charities. 🌹 ​
From Wikipedia: Diana, Princess of Wales (born Diana Frances Spencer; (1 July 1961 – 31 August 1997), was a member of the British royal family. She was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, and the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry. Diana's activism and glamour made her an international icon and earned her an enduring popularity as well as an unprecedented public scrutiny, exacerbated by her tumultuous private life.
Immediately after her death, many sites around the world became briefly ad hoc memorials to Diana where the public left flowers and other tributes. The largest was outside the gates of Kensington Palace, where people continue to leave flowers and tributes. Permanent memorials include:
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Gardens in Regent Centre Gardens Kirkintilloch
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, London, opened by Queen Elizabeth II
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground in Kensington Gardens, London
The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, a circular path between Kensington Gardens, Green Park, Hyde Park, and St. James's Park, London
The Diana Memorial Award, established in 1999 and later relaunched in 2007 by Gordon Brown
The Princess Diana Memorial Austria is the first memorial dedicated to Diana, Princess of Wales, in a German-speaking country. It is placed in the garden of Schloss Cobenzl in Vienna.
This tartan which has several colour variations was designed by Alistair Buchan, Chairman of Lochcarron of Scotland to commemorate the life of Diana Princess of Wales and to raise money for her many charities.
