The final resting place for Mohamed Al Fayed is a burial chamber next to that of his son in a mausoleum metaphorically guarded by statues of lions and sphinxes. It stands close to his home on his 226-acre Surrey estate.
The mausoleum is a simple wooden pergola with 12 wooden supporting pillars and a stone floor. It stands across a stream a few minutes’ walk from the 17th Century family home.
Four continuous candles surround the grave of Dodi, who was killed alongside Princess Diana in a Paris car crash 26 years ago. Al Fayed, who never managed to capture the hearts of the UK’s ruling classes was 94 when he died and was buried two days later.
The former owner of Harrods passed away on the eve of the anniversary of Dodi and Princess Diana’s death.
There was not a single dignitary at his funeral, not even the Egyptian ambassador.
