Today marks 20 years since the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
She lost her life on August 31st, 1997, after a car crash in Paris.
Her sons, Princes William and Harry, visited a memorial garden in Kensington Palace yesterday, where people laid flowers and posters at the gate.
As one of a number of charity commitments, she was President of Barnardo's.
It was planned for her to come to the family centre in Belfast in 1991, where she met with staff, families and and other people from around Northern Ireland.
Central to the organisation of the special event was Barnardo's NI Director Lynda Wilson, and we caught up with her to ask for her thoughts on the visit, the Princess' impact and legacy, as well as her reaction to the news of her death. She also mentions the significance of a signed brick!
