A statue of Queen Anne presides over the west entrance of St Paul's Cathedral.I have been wanting to visiting St. Paul's Cathedral since July 29, 1981. Are you with me?
It was the morning of Lady Diana Spencer's wedding to Prince Charles. You can see a terrific video from ABC News of her arrival at St. Paul's on her wedding day and catch a glimpse of this statue about 1 minute, 20 seconds into the video. What a day!
Eleven years later I chose a candlelight white wedding gown and soft white bridesmaids dresses for my wedding just as Diana did. It was gorgeous!
It meant a lot to me to stand on these steps and enter St. Paul's cathedral just as she did 29 years ago. It was the closest I would ever get to her life and somehow it was a way to pay my respects.
I could tell you a million facts about the cathedral, dome and its history, but honestly for me, it was all about Diana.
