Diana Memorial Walk
為了前往白金漢宮，我們穿越ST JAMES’S PARK
因為踢到地上的金屬塊，我想起過世的Diana王妃
還記得他們的婚禮代表王子與公主將過著永遠幸福與快樂的生活
沒想到這只是世紀末最後的荒唐笑話與不幸
變心和背叛
並不隨著棺木落土而安靜
王子與公主的愛情
不能靠金錢地位維持
我所見到的plaque（飾板、匾）

Walkway, children's playground honor Princess Diana
Walk Through the Park
A plaque marking the Princess Diana Memorial Walk in London's Kensington Gardens in June 2000, after the walk was completed. The plaques chart a walkway through London's parks commemorating Seventy plaques proclaiming the walkway will mark its route. The committee is also considering sites along the walkway for a Diana memorial fountain.Chancellor Gordon Brown and Royal Parks Minister Alan Howarth led the June 30, 2000 ceremonies opening the playground. Diana's brother, Earl Spencer, and a number of her close friends attended. However, no members of the royal family appeared. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said Princes William and Henry had declined to attend, while other members of the family were busy with other engagements.
Donating Millions in Grants
The Diana, Princess of Wales, Memorial Fund awarded some $25 million in grants to various organizations in 1999, and plans to dispense an equal amount in 2000.
As the third anniversary of her death approached, Diana, Princess of Wales, was remembered through a fantasy garden for children and a seven-mile walkway snaking through London parks.
After sifting through some 10,000 ideas submitted by the public, the Diana Memorial Committee chose to remodel the children's playground in Kensington Gardens. It is now known as the Peter Pan Playground because the playground was created in 1906 with money from Sir James Matthew Barrie, author of Peter Pan.
The site, which is near Diana's former Kensington Palace home, includes six play areas, including an Indian village complete with totem poles and tepees; a pirate ship; and a mermaid's fountain. Organizers said they wanted to benefit one of Diana's favorite causes, children. In addition, the playground will be accessible to children with disabilities. The playground and walkway cost roughly $4.8 million, paid for by the Royal Parks Agency.
Walk Through the Park
The seven-mile walkway meanders through several royal parks in downtown London, including Kensington Gardens, St. James's Park, Green Park, and Hyde Park. The route passes a number of locations important in Diana's life, including Kensington Palace, her home for 15 years; Buckingham Palace, where she stayed following her engagement; St. James's Palace, where she maintained an office; Clarence House, home of the Queen Mother; and Spencer House, former London mansion of the Spencer family.
Diana memorial walk open in London
LONDON (CP) -- Visitors to London can now follow the Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Walk, an 11-kilometre stroll through four royal parks -- Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James's Park.
Ninety plaques have been set in the ground to chart the route, and the Royal Parks agency has enhanced it with landscaping, restored ornamental gates, fountains and memorials.
During the walk, visitors can see various buildings which figured in Diana's life, such as Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, St. James's Palace and Spencer House, former London home of the Spencer family.
The new book A Walk for Diana, by Tom Corby and Lucy Trench, is both a guide to the walk and a celebration of the princess's life and her association with the parks. Published by Hudsons on behalf of Royal Parks, it is available at British bookshops at 9.95 pounds.
