Two men unveil a tribute that they had commissioned to celebrate the life and work of their mother. Whether or not the statue is to my personal taste is irrelevant.

It's doubtful that a statue could really do Diana justice. I've often wondered why it doesn't seem possible to put up a different sort of memorial to a dead person that a statue or plaque. In the case of Diana, probably the most photographed and filmed person on the planet who wasn't a model or actor, they could put up a set of interlocking screens that would show a long series of clips of film and photographs over and over.

Embarrassingly bad.

How could they get it so wrong?

If her family like it, then that's all that matters.

Few statues were worse than Saints first casting of Ted Bates.

I personally think that this skill has been lost in recent times. Unlike old Victorian/Georgian examples out there, I believe that this generation of sculptures fail to imprint any unique character.... if they try the result is almost comical

I've never understood the "canonisation" of Princess Diana.
