The Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park was opened by the Queen in July 2004.

The design aimed to reflect Diana’s life with water flowing from the highest point in two directions.

In June 2000 a memorial playground was opened next to her Kensington Palace home, featuring a huge wooden pirate ship.

Diana’s sons Princes William and Harry also commissioned a statue, which will be erected in the grounds of Kensington palace.

In a joint statement, they said: “We hope the statue will help all those who visit Kensington Palace to reflect on her life and her legacy.”

A number of memorials have been set up in London in the years since Diana’s death

Where is Princess Diana buried?

Princess Diana is buried on an island in the Althorp Estate, which has been the Spencer family home for centuries.

Earlier plans for her to be laid to rest in the family’s vault in the nearby Great Brington church were abandoned due to concerns about security and safety.

The private burial was held following her funeral with family in attendance.
