Dianas sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale, was a member of the six-strong committee tasked with commissioning and privately raising funds for the creation of the statue, alongside Julia Samuel, a godparent of Prince George, who was a close friend of the princess. Prince Harry, who has not appeared in public with his brother Prince William since Prince Philips funeral, arrived in the UK last Friday and after isolating for five days at Frogmore Cottage was finally able to step out on Wednesday, reports the Express. The statue will be unveiled at around 2pm today, with photos and footage from the event being made available from 2.20pm, reported the Express. Kensington Palace is yet to confirm whether today's event will be televised or available to stream online. Given the poignant nature of the reunion it is expected to be a private affair but photos and video from the event will be released to the press at 2.20pm. Whether or not Harry and William will give speeches at the unveiling also remains to be seen but royal journalist and expert Camilla Tominey hinted the brothers would not give addresses during a television interview on Thursday morning. How Cambridgeshire marked the death of Princess Diana  Just 36 when she died, Princess Diana was beloved around the country. She left her mark on many places in the UK, including our county. The princess visited Cambridgeshire several times on her royal duties, firstly in 1987, when she came to Ely for engagements at the cathedral and the citys hospital, renamed the Princess of Wales Hospital in her honour. A year later, she toured Newmarket Hospital and then met 30 heart and lung transplant patients at The Papworth Hospital, then in Bourn. In 1989 she opened the Childrens Hospice at Milton and the new 770,000 community centre at Cherry Hinton. Diana came back in 1993 to meet researchers at Cambridge Universitys Physiological Lab, where work was going on to find a cure for paralysis caused by spinal injuries  and to the delight of thousands who turned out to see her, she did a 20-minute walkabout in the city centre. Former Cambridge nurse Christine Townrow has fond recollections of another Diana visit, to Peterhouse College in 1985. Prince William was just two years old and Harry a mere five months, and the princess had expressed an interest in seeing research work into combating cot deaths. The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths, set up in the city in 1970, put on an exhibition for her at the college, and it was Christines task to present her with a bouquet when she arrived. Christine recalled: She met many of the people involved in the research work, and parents whose babies had suffered cot death too. "I was struck by her bright blue eyes and her genuine interest and compassion. "She asked about my work on a sick childrens ward  and said how lucky she was to have two healthy boys.
