Diana, Princess of Wales, was a well-loved figure in British history. Her influence, compassion and sincerity earned her the respect of the world, redefining royalty by constantly reaching out to the poor and the needy. The whole world grieved at her tragic passing ten years ago.

A small garden was created beside Kensington Palace to remember Diana, the people’s princess.

The Small Field of Flowers

The installation of ten large flower sculptures nearby, in the south gardens of Kensington palace, mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. The sculptures, designed by artist Sofie Layton, echo the thousands of flowers left by the mourners in front of the palace gates ten years ago.

In this part of the garden, Sofie Layton has helped people in local community to create their own Field of Flowers. Two groups from the St Clement & St James Community Development project and pupils from Fox Primary School looked at Flower imagery in Kensington Palace and explored the meaning of flowers in different countries and cultures.
