A tribute for the late Princess Diana has been mercilessly mocked online, with some describing it as 'absolutely horrendous' and 'a disgrace

The memorial was unveiled in the town centre of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Diana's death.

 

Another social media user called Karen Byfleet added: 'Absolutely horrendous makes me ashamed to say I come from Chesterfield. How much of our money has gone into this?

'Chesterfield borough council you should be ashamed of yourselves. I doubt it was meant to cause offence, probably meant as a respectful gesture...sorry but it is a disgrace...it should be taken down immediately.'

A Chesterfield council spokesperson defended the design, telling the Derbyshire Times: 'The well dressing is produced by 14 volunteers using the ancient Derbyshire art of well dressing, which involves creating designs from flower petals and other natural materials.
'All art is meant to be a talking point and that certainly seems to be the case with this year's design.

'The well dressing is designed to attract visitors to the area and if the publicity encourages more people to come and visit the market and local shops then that can only be good for Chesterfield.
