The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain opened in July 2004, is a brilliant water feature with fast flowing torrents in one direction followed by gentle inclines where the water rocks and rolls. The final design, by American architect Kathryn Gustafson, is said to reflect the introspective and reflective side of Diana and also the turbulence in her life.
