Flame of Liberty, Princess Diana Memorial, Paris, France

Flame of Liberty, or Flamme de la Liberte, a replica of the torch held by the Statue of Liberty in New York, installed in 1989 on the Place de l'Alma, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. While the sculpture was a gift to France symbolising Franco-American friendship, given by the International Herald Tribune on its 100th anniversary, it has become unofficially known as the Princess Diana memorial, as it stands above the road tunnel where she died in a car crash in 1997. Tourists from around the world visit the sculpture, attach love locks and lay flowers in her memory. Picture by Manuel Cohen
