🕊️ Today marks 29 years since Princess Diana passed away.
On August 31, 1997, Diana died after a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris. Dodi Al Fayed and driver Henri Paul also lost their lives. Diana was only 36 years old.
Above the tunnel stands the golden “Flame of Liberty.” It was not originally created for Diana. It is a full-size copy of the flame of the Statue of Liberty and was placed there in 1989 as a symbol of French-American friendship.
But after Diana’s death, its meaning changed.
People began leaving flowers, letters, and photographs there. Over time, the Flame became an unofficial memorial to Diana in Paris.
29 years have passed, but her smile, kindness, and compassion are still remembered.
Today, this golden flame is not only a symbol of liberty. For many people, it is also a symbol of a love that never disappeared. 🕯️
Remembered with love and missed deeply…
Princess Diana
