Very nice idea, this thread! If I could I would join it,
but I'm busy these days. It would be helpful in some
way if the princely family could see all these warm
words and collected pics to see the support they
are given from throughout the world. So sad what
happens..

Like you I think it would be good if the family saw our support messages and photographic tributes to the life of a great man, the patriach of a great family, the soverign ruler of a principality, but most of a human like all of us.

Its Great that you all respons so well. I just hear that it still goes very bad with Prince Rainier. I found some real old (original magazine ) pictures of him. I will scan them and post them this evening. He was such a good dad...

Having the feeling that Stéphanie will be the one
who suffers most of the loss, I choosed some of
my favourite pics of Rainier and Stéphanie:

[LadyMacAlpine]

Great pics! I think we only have to play here "The Way We Were" for this tribute to be complete.

I will second that.

Memories,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?
Memories, may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

 

[towsend]

WOW!! Iceflower I LOVE your pictures! And yes I never see them before...Thank you so much. If you have more please post them!
