Princess Diana's Shrine on the Round Oval at Althorp

A solitary rowing boat waits to take visitors across the Oval Lake at Althorp to visit Princess Diana's burial site on the Round Oval.

The burial site of Princess Diana is only open to the public once a year, on the anniversary of her death - and then only by pre-booked, free tickets. The shrine, visible here, is not Princess Diana's grave. That is hidden in an arboretum of specimen trees on the island. Some of the trees were planted by Diana and by her sons, the Princes William and Harry.
