	Dear All Hello On 1 July 1961, at Park House, Sandringhan, Norfolk, a little girl was born to Frances and John Spencer, Viscount Althorp, later Earl of Spencer. Diana Frances grew up to become Diana, Princess of Wales. On this day, Diana would have been 60 years old and a statue has been unveiled in Kensington Gardens by her two sons. Always remembered with much love. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On this day, 105 years ago British and allied troops had been engaged in the battle of the Somme against Germany. By the evening, nearly 20,000 people had been,killed and thousands injured. TO REMEMBER ALWAYS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ World War One was called the "War to End all Wars" but STILL people have cannot live in peace. Sincere wishes Elizabeth, EOS xx
