Caerphilly's tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales

A shed in a backstreet, newly painted, but covered in graffiti.

I was wandering around town early in 1998 taking a few more pictures for this site when I came across this newly painted and even more newly graffiti-ised shed. Nothing unusual about that, except that among the normal 'Rachel woz yer', 'GP 4 CW' and 'Craig Davies is a wanker' someone had painted the following. I had to preserve it in the camera.

Detail: a headstone enscribed 'RIP A tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales 1961 - 1997'

Can you beat that?
