The bizarre Diana-inspired mural that looks NOTHING like the late princess

The 20th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana saw moving tributes pour in from around the world - but one has been making waves for all the wrong reasons.  

On Monday a Twitter user shared a picture of a floral tribute to the late royal that has sprung up in Chesterfield town centre in Derbyshire. 

The snap of the tribute - arranged by the local council and worked on by volunteers - has since gone viral, after social media critics said it bore a closer resemblance to retro children's TV character Worzel Gummidge than Diana. 

It has racked up more than 2,000 retweets and 5,000 likes since user @ShornKoomins shared the picture, describing it in his caption as 'something else'. 

Onlookers agreed the display, which shows the Princess' face flanked by two red roses and the date of her death in Paris in 1997, and the 20th anniversary, 2017, was 'frightening'. 

The display was created using petals, and designed to celebrate Diana's connection to Derbsyhire, which she visited just weeks before she died.

But the man who shared it, whose real name is Sean, appeared to be horrified by the tribute, captioning his post: 'This Diana 'tribute' in Chesterfield town centre is something else.'

The tribute has been erected next to the town pump in the marketplace of Chesterfield town centre, and is set to remain on show until September 16.

A group of 14 volunteers spend around 120 hours over one week creating the well dressing.

The design has been produced using a variety of materials including carnations, chrysanthemums, camomile flowers, cow parsley, leaves, grass seeds, rowan berries and egg shell.

The theme of Diana, Princess of Wales was chosen as it is the 20th anniversary of her death and she opened the town's Visitor Information Centre in 1981.
