The brother of Princess Diana has paid a loving to his late sister on what would have been her 61st birthday.
Charles Spencer took to Instagram to share a photograph of one of the 90 plaques embedded across London which pay tribute to Princess Diana, and spoke of the "enduring impact" she has had on Britain.
Captioning the post, he said: "Yesterday I was crossing a park in London when I suddenly came across this in the pathway – one of the many that stud parts of the capital, in Diana’s memory.
"Amazing to think of the enduring impact of a woman who died so young. Today – 25 years on – would have been her 61st birthday."
The plaque he shared was part of a seven-mile memorial walk for Diana, Princess of Wales, which takes you within sight of famous buildings and locations associated with the Princess' life.
On the walk, you pass through four of the eight Royal Parks; St James's Park, Green Park, Hyde Park, and Kensington Gardens.
You also pass three palaces and two mansions which played a part in Diana's life, Kensington Palace, Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, St James's Palace and Spencer House, the one-time London home of the Spencer family.
The plaques are the work of sculptor Alec Peever, and feature a rose emblem at the centre and are etched in aluminium.
The rose symbolises both the Princess' enduring image and also Britain's tradition and heritage, with the walk officially being opened on June 30, 2000, the day before Diana's 39th birthday.
Many of Diana's fans were quick to comment on Charles' post, saying she was "so special."
One person wrote: "Her passing is one of those times when you remember exactly where you were, what you said and who you were with. She was so special."
Another said: "Always remembered – on her birthday and everyday. The unique Diana whose beauty will never be extinguished from our minds."
While a third wrote: "That must have been a bittersweet thing to come across unexpectedly. Thinking of you and your family today."
A number of people also reflected on the day she died, with one writing: "I still remember that day and that moment when I heard the news."
This August will mark 25 years since the Princess tragically died following the injuries she sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel in Paris.
Diana, often known as the People's Princess, tragically died aged 36, leaving behind her two sons, Princes William and Harry.
