Hefty
There were actually multiple photos (there was a press pack and it was opposite Diana with a pond in between) and the one above is by Tim Graham of Getty but the ones that worked (IMO) were the landscape ones as they lead your eye up to the Taj at first before you notice the relatively tiny Diana in the foreground. She looks small and demur and helpless and coy but above all she looks alone (Charles was meant to go on the trip but didn't, not sure why).
I'm not apologising for my use of iconic @TW -not many people are/were but I would say Princess Di makes the cut.
Personally I think anti-austerity marches are more important events too, but the public gets what the public wants. The grim reality is that the public accepted Osborn's ideologically driven demands for austerity as practically necessary when they weren't, just as they accepted his orthodoxy that Labour spent all the money (when the hole in the budget was mostly caused by the financial crisis and Labour's spending was no more or less sustainable than any other governments).
