Kensington Palace, which was bought by William and Mary in 1689. The Jacobean mansion, which stood in the 'village' of Kensington was later improved and added to using designs by Sir Christopher Wren. The South Front in the picture dates from 1695. The magnificent 'Golden' gates highlight the entrance and all round them on the days following Princess Di's death was a sea of flowers left by the grieving public.
