Description

The beloved patron of the HALO Trust

Amazing color semi-glossy 8.25 x 10.5 photo of Princess Diana, with arms akimbo and radiant smile, wearing a smock with a HALO trust emblem and British Red Cross pin, signed in bold black ink, "Thank you for your support. Lots of love, from, Diana, x." Reverse of photo bears a Kensington Palace stamp. In fine condition. Beginning in 1988, Diana began a long and much-publicized partnership with the British Red Cross when she became the society's most respected and influential patron. Among the over 100 charities and campaigns she advocated, Diana served as a patron for the Red Cross Youth, the Commonwealth Society for the Deaf, the Royal School for the Blind, the British Sports Association for the Disabled, and the Parkinson's Disease Society. Additionally, Diana served as a patron for the HALO Trust, an organization that removes debris left behind by war, with particular focus on the recovery of landmines. As spokesperson and vice president of the British Red Cross, Diana famously traveled to Washington in June 1997 to help launch the American Red Cross’s campaign to ban antipersonnel landmines.
