William and Kate visit on Canada Day

As much a I love hats, I do NOT enjoy most fascinators that I've seen but this one worn on Canada's birthday by Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge definitely makes me smile!

Wonderful to see Will and Kate arrive amid a sea of red with the large crowd gathered to greet them and led in on their landau by the RCMP mounted on their horses!

Princess Diana's 50th Birthday

Forever remembered as the "People's Princess", Diana Spencer became an international personality when she became engaged to Charles, Prince of Wales in 1981. Countless photographs were taken of the charismatic Diana as she married Charles, gave birth to William and Harry and endeared herself to countless people worldwide. An audience of 2.5 billion people were estimated to have watched her televised funeral in 1997 and we remember her today on what would have been her 50th birthday. [Photo on left: Life]
