Charles Spencer is honoring the memory of his late sister Princess Diana 28 years after her death.

On Sunday, nearly three decades after her tragic death, Spencer shared on Instagram a photo of a bouquet of white and pink roses he placed at her burial site at Althorp Estate, alongside a heartfelt caption.

"Flowers we cut this morning from Althorp's gardens for the Island," he wrote. "Always an impossible day."

Diana, Princess of Wales, died in a car crash on Aug. 31, 1997, at the age of 36, while being pursued by paparazzi in Paris, France.
