Thousands of flowers were left to honor Princess Diana in the wake of her death.

Diana, the late Princess of Wales, would've celebrated her 52nd birthday today. As her son prepares to have a child of his own, we remember the life and legacy of the "people's princess."

"She will always be remembered for her amazing public work, but behind the media glare — to just two loving children — she was quite simply the best mother in the world," Prince Harry said at a royal memorial service for his mother in 2007.

In honor of Diana, who remains much-missed, take a look at this slideshow celebrating her memory.

Sri Lanka, who more often than not make it to the knockouts in ICC tournaments, just need a win; if they win big - that is, by about 90 runs in a full 50-over game - they can better England's net run rate and finish top of the group.

If they bat second and Sri Lanka score 200, Australia will need to chase the target down in about 27 overs.
