The event is being held on what would have been Princess Diana's 60th birthday, who died in Paris in a car crash in 1997.

The statue will be revealed in her former home by the two brothers who are barely talking to each other.
The Palace said that the garden had been redesigned to create a more thoughtful setting for the memorial. The garden was originally created in 1908.
The renovation work on the garden started in 2019 and has taken more than 1,000 hours of planting, involving 4,000 of Diana's favourite flowers including 100 forget-me-nots and 300 tulips.

Royal commentator Penny Junor said that it’s going to be very awkward, as Prince William and Harry will be the focus of cameras and they are not good at hiding their emotions.
Prince William was 15 and Harry was 12 when their beloved mother crashed in a tunnel in Paris.
The loss creates a deep trauma in both brothers and affected their mental health for years.
Prince William and Harry last saw each other in April at the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip.
The grief for their mother united them, who was married to Prince Charles in 1981.
Almost a quarter of a century since the accident, Diana's life and death are still a regular feature in newspapers.
