This is the live performance by Elton John at the funeral of the Late Princess of Wales, Diana on 6 September 1997. The song "Goodbye England's Rose" was a re-write of the song "Candle in the Wind" written as a tribute to the late Marilyn Monroe. This new version was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

est video ever made on Princess Diana. Will bring tears to your eyes. You will be amazed by 7 minutes containing all since 1981. My tribute to the lady that in 1981 became cinderella, but now, she is sleaping beauty just waiting for the real prince. I`m sure one day he will come to awake her from her sleep.

A beautiful ceremony for a beautiful woman.

But this book is not just the greatest Vanity Fair cover story never written. Brown has a thesis. She doesn't bang you over the head with it --- it develops naturally. Like this: A shy, uneducated, dreamy girl from a dysfunctional family pushes herself into her country's ultimate family. Instead of finding Prince Charming, she finds herself married to a man who sneaks off to his lover every chance he gets. She's desperate for a hug from his mom, which is, of course, the last thing the Queen is able to give her. The marriage turns into the royal version of "A Star Is Born" --- she's going up, he's coming down. Envy, misunderstanding and misery ensue. Which leads to the wrong man, and another, and another, until she bottoms out with Dodi Fayed. "Diana told herself she was looking for love," Brown writes. "But what she was really seeking was a guy with a Gulfstream."

Taken at Kensington Palace a few months before the Princess died (I think before her famous dress sale)you'll find a series of beautiful photographs of the Princess, some in color- some black & white. She looks very happy and relaxed in every one of them, only a few are more than head and shoulder shots and no really formal poses.
