Princess Diana died on August 31, 1997, at the age of 36.

In the early hours of that date, she died in hospital after being injured in a car accident in a road tunnel in Paris.
Her partner, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene.
A memorial to Diana was opened in Hyde Park by Her Majesty The Queen on July 6, 2004.
The fountain was built to reflect Diana’s life, the website states, with water flowing 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 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.
