This is May 2024 and this immortal song by legendary Elton John continues to be exceedingly emotional, exceptionally heart touching, enormously exclusive and elegant. This will go down as the best ever memorial song for a great lady. His singing is singularly sentimental, sad, soulful, spellbinding, superb, sincere, sweet & simply spectacular. ❤❤❤

This is the second most successful recording of all time (only behind White Christmas which had a 55 year head start). Despite that it has only been performed by Elton John on three occasions: the funeral rehearsal, the funeral, and the recording session. He has said he will never perform it for a 4th time unless explicitly asked by Diana’s sons. That is character, to have the most successful song of any living person and not perform it out of respect for your friend and her family. How many artists would do the same? Bravo Sir Elton!

I think going through a lot of the personal issues and drug/alcohol addiction when he was young, that many pop stars deal with, then coming through clean and sober with his health, helped him become a better person. So many pop/rock stars are ego maniacs with no humility, and destroy themselves beyond the point of return. Elton weathered that storm and came through a wonderful human being.

Goodbye England's rose. May you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind, never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills; Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will. Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile. This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child. And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know. Sung so memorably by her friend, Elton John

So in truth they make the rich people we know like Bill Gates look like a beggar. Same with the Rothschild family their true wealth is in the many Trillions and they built their entire fortune on deception, manipulation and blood. Elton knows this but can’t speak out and it’s hard to blame him. Thanks to the internet and different unbiased platforms people are indeed awake to all these horrible atrocities. The elites really trying to destroy countries identity. If you want to honour your countries values you are labeled a racist. Stay strong England, sending love from Australia

She was so loved from the public. Where there was so much dislike for the royal family, Diana was seen as the peoples princess. An average person thrown into a world or royalty and responsibility. She rose to the occasion….In 8th grade my teacher showed Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles to my class and went into great detail about the wedding. I remember her mentioning that there were tiny embroidered bees sewn into her wedding dress because Diana loved bees. The world mourned for her. The entire world.

Check out Churchill's funeral as well. A few details: Sir Winston Churchill died on 24 January 1965, aged 90. His was the first state funeral for a non-royal family member since Lord Carson in 1935, and as of 2021 it remains the most recent state funeral in the United Kingdom. The official funeral lasted for four days. Planning for the funeral, known as Operation Hope Not, began 12 years before Churchill's death. Attended by representatives from 120 countries, 6,000 people, and unusually by the Queen, more than 1,000 police and security personnel, involving nine military bands, 18 military battalions, 16 Royal Air Force English Electric Lightning fighter jets, a special boat MV Havengore and a train hauled by Winston Churchill, homage paid by 321,360 people, and witnessed by over 350 million people, it was the largest state funeral in history. The Queen broke certain royal protocols at Churchill's funeral. Firstly, it was a common royal etiquette for the monarch to not attend funeral service outside of the royal family. Secondly, she not only attended the service but was among the first officials to arrive at St Paul's, making her presence even before the coffin and Churchill family arrived. It is a royal custom in any event that the monarch is always the last to arrive. Additionally, it is a royal convention that the monarch is also the first to exit or end an ongoing event. As the funeral service was over, the Queen followed the Churchill family out of the cathedral. To these unusual deeds by the Queen, Nicholas Soames commented: "It is absolutely exceptional if not unique for the Queen to grant precedence to anyone. For her to arrive before the coffin and before my grandfather was a beautiful and very touching gesture. Churchill's funeral was the largest gathering of world leaders during the 1960s-and, at that time, in history. Representatives from 112 countries and many organisations attended, including 5 kings, 2 queens, 1 emperor, 1 grand duke, 2 queen consorts, 15 presidents, 14 prime ministers and 10 former leaders. The only notable absentee was Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States, who was ill at the time. The official representative of the United States was Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States. ... China was the only country not to send representatives to the funeral. The Observer reported on 31 January, saying, "This was the last time that London would be the capital of the world. This was an act of mourning for the imperial past. This marked the final act in Britain's greatness... It was a triumph. It was a celebration of a great thing that we did in the past."[

In early September, John asked Taupin to revise the lyrics of their 1973 song "Candle in the Wind" to honour Diana, and Taupin agreed. On 6 September 1997, John performed "Candle in the Wind 1997" live for the only time at Diana's funeral in Westminster Abbey. The song became the fastest and biggest-selling single of all time, eventually selling over 33 million copies globally. The best-selling single in UK chart history, and the best-selling single in Billboard history, it is the first single certified Diamond in the US where it sold over 11 million copies. The 2009 Guinness World Records states it is "the biggest-selling single since UK and US singles charts began in the 1950s, having accumulated worldwide sales of 33 million copies"

This is May 2024 and this immortal song by legendary Elton John continues to be exceedingly emotional, exceptionally heart touching, enormously exclusive and elegant. This will go down as the best ever memorial song for a great lady. His singing is singularly sentimental, sad, soulful, spellbinding, superb, sincere, sweet & simply spectacular. ❤❤❤

Yeah, and he seems soo close to tears sometimes. I wonder how many times he practiced that rendition! Then again…it’s Elton
This is the second most successful recording of all time (only behind White Christmas which had a 55 year head start). Despite that it has only been performed by Elton John on three occasions: the funeral rehearsal, the funeral, and the recording session. He has said he will never perform it for a 4th time unless explicitly asked by Diana’s sons. That is character, to have the most successful song of any living person and not perform it out of respect for your friend and her family. How many artists would do the same? Bravo Sir Elton!
those concert are unforget . my english is very bad sorry
Let’s hope they ask, be great to hear it live again.
Thank you for that info. I never heard that before.
@miltonramos9698 let me correct you then because I suck. I belive you meant "those concerts are unforgettable". Concert multiple is concerts, when you can't forget something it is unforgettable
Actually it surpassed White Christmas FYI.
One of the best live performances in human history.
So true
All time best selling single in US and UK
Agreed
Where did live aid queen performance go?
One of the most ridiculous comments in human history.
I wasn’t even alive when Diana passed and I’m still crying
So am I
So we all
Yeah, me too even though I was actually less than a month old when this happened.
Why?, Was Diana a familiar?, Every day a lot people dies in England and the world
Yeah me too. I'm not even a British but I still cry when I hear this song. She touched people's heart all over the world.
I'm just some black kid from brooklyn who mostly likes hip-hop, but I like to watch masters at work. And this performance, in this setting and how serious it was, shows a true master at work. Incredible.
Of course. Good music touches the soul. Classical, rap, hip-hop, country, rock, it is the message and the music that matters.

Fun fact: Elton John has stated that unless he gets the blessing from Diana's sons, he will never perform this version again, though he still plays the Marilyn Monroe version in concert.
You are 99% correct. In the immediate aftermath of her death (maybe one month) he did perform it on Top of the pops. i remember distinctly. he was wearing a very gay top hat. but the rest of what u said is true

@She Wolf I don't think I'd say that he's one of the most underrated artists. He still has the record for highest selling single of all time (Which, coincidentally, is this song.), and had, if memory serves, a single in the top 100 for 40+ years. No other singer has done that.
I don't think so. He even rejected an invitation by her son's to sing it at her tribute concert...

You are right Suzette, have you listen to Don Williams?
Who will never be forgotten?🤣
It was a horrible song to use it was written about Marilyn Monroe a slut whore. He edited and uses it for Prince Diana is disgusting The proper and classy thing to do is write a completely different song that's the stupidity of a homosexual! And even worse you thinking it's beautiful it was in very bad taste perhaps you don't know the difference.
The memory of her, if it persists, will hold far less historic momentum than that of Elizabeth I or Mary Queen of Scots, but she might be remembered for a couple of centuries, because history books favour royal families more than the common people.
The individual this song was re-written for.
47 day earlier Princess Diana was consoling Elton for his loss, 47 days later Elton singing at Princess Diana's Funeral 💔💔💔

How the hell he remained so composed that he could do this live is unfathomable.
You are so right when Princes Diane died I remembered seeing it on the news. I cry every time I watch this video.
He lost it a couple times, but held his composure tremendously. You can tell in his face that it wasn't easy.
That’s a true musician for you. Singing when you’re on the verge of tears and feeling the sorrow wash over is incredibly difficult.
After seeing Rocketman, you understand
Professionalism. Elton himself said that in an interview, he was asked about that and he knew what his purpose was and so he went out there and did it. Very difficult indeed for him.
This performance is absolutely one of the best in all the human history
hello how are you doing, how long have you been a fan of mine?
No

You occupy a nanosecond and can know nothing whatsoever about "all human history."

This song makes me cry every time I hear it because it brings me back to this very moment. Continue to rest, Princess Diana. 🕯️🕊🙏🏽♥️

If Diana was alive today, I was ill back in February and I could have met her. But she wouldn’t have known that I’m just loved as her; everyone in Wales says I’m a great Queen to them and I can’t wait for my birthday

@@bigjohn6475 I think not singing Candle In The Wind would have been the hardest part for me. Replacing a song like that you've sung a million times with a song with words written a few days before, but to the exact same music. I can't imagine being able to do that.
As a foreigner, even at that time struck by the tragic death of the beloved Princess, I cannot but admire the dignity, composure and civilization of the people and the environment on this occasion, as well as the perfect and professional performance of this splendid Song by the Great Elton John
Now her two sons are older than she was when she lost her life. What could have been we will never know. What an enormous loss to the world.
Fun Fact: Elton only sang this song 3 times. At a rehearsal, in a studio and here in the video.

She just wasn't england's princess she impacted the whole 🌎 world
This is absolutely beautiful. I was very young when Princess Diana passed away but watching this makes me feel like I was there. The emotion and atmosphere Elton creates with this song is just incredible.
Too emotiona❤l
I was also very young. My mum used to listen to the radio throughout the night...and I remember hearing in the early hours that she'd been in an accident...and it wasn't until I woke up in the morning that, despite being so young, I realised the devastating impact of her death. Such a huge loss!

I can’t hear this song without choking up. That must have been the hardest thing for Elton to do. And the fact that only one month earlier he grieved the death of Versace. He held himself perfectly and honoured Diana with absolute dignity and respect.
Considering the circumstances probably the best live performance ever..
I used to think that until the events of last year, and this happened earlier this year... kzhead.info/sun/hqqzdpStbZqdqas/bejne.html (For those of you who don't want to click without knowing, Per Gessle performing "It Must Have Been Love" in tribute to the death of Marie Fredriksson. Together, they formed the Swedish pop sensation Roxette, more popular abroad then in the States, but I loved them more than any other group i likely ever will)
As a kid I said that same thing to my father... 40 yrs old now and I stand by my childish opinion.
Roy Goode ,not a childish opinion....a very perceptive opinion for a child. I’m 51, still think this is the best live version of any song. This holds special memories for me......the day of the funeral was the day I married my husband.......22 years ago this year.
PROBABLY THE MOST DISARANGED RENDEZVOUS. I HAVE SEEN.
YOU HAVEN'T WALKED ON WATER some people have.
How Elton managed to sing that song, about his good friend, with totally re-written lyrics of an original song he has performed a thousand times before, without autocue or sheet written lyrics, self-accompanied and live with perhaps billions of people around the world watching is totally remarkable! A faultless performance by an absolute living legend of a musician!
Yes it was
Ice in his veins
He is such as a Brilliant singer! Wish Freddie Mercury was still alive on 1997 Maybe Freddie and elton will duet while singing candle in the wind.
I agree. What’s more, this live version sounded so much better than the re-recorded version too. Most likely due to acoustics of the venue, as well as the raw emotion during this specific performance.
IKR I was thinking the same thing. They was really close friends. My voice would have been cracking all over the place.
I remember watching this live, being 1000s miles away it was so touching. I listen to it today and wonder what she would think of the world today! She worked so hard to show us that there are good people out there.
I was 27, remember this moment. I’m 54 now. He got this right … every word, she was truly one of the best. You can’t replicate her. She lived a life full of greatness. She was grace , beautiful, perfection.
I hope they play this at the crown’s next season

I remember coming downstairs the day she died... I walked in the living room and the floor was covered with every single newspaper available to buy and my mum just said, "she's dead" - and she'd been sobbing, reading every single paper. Still makes me feel emotional thinking about it - I was only 11! This compassion coming from a woman who was born with absolutely nothing. Just goes to show how much the country loved Princess Diana, rich or poor.
SmithyD86 Same! Still remember being a similar age and my mum running into my room opening my curtains saying “she died she died”. I went downstairs and on the tv it was just breaking news on all channels.
Yup, my mum came into my room when I was little and told me and my brothers. Was really weird.
I was 11 in 1997 too and it was the first time I ever saw my dad cry
Yeah my mom was also crying. Didn't understand it at that age. Now i do
I was only 7 in 1997 when I saw this funeral live on TV. It was heartbreaking to watch
For some reason, this is the song I come to for comfort in dealing with depression, or grief. This was done very, very, very well. Salute to Elton and his long-term musical collaborator Bernie Taupin was blessing our lives with this masterpiece.
I'm 55 years old and have never seen this song before. Elton fan all my life.
How the hell did he sing this without breaking down in tears?
Why are tears necessary? Grief is a complex psychological process, of which tears are only a small part.
You can kinda see he’s trying not to cry
Probably numb and he was pissed. He was so pissed at the royal family
@@delilasloan8914 And precisely how do you know this?
I have always wondered that too. I mean, I started crying when this started playing. And he knew her in person, they were close friends. I always admired his composure, was that me, I would be singing through tears.

To give a live performance like this, play it flawlessly, and sing without breaking down - and in front of perhaps half the world watching is incredible. Elton is one of the best in the music industry ever in my opinion - and liked by everyone.
I agree with you 100%!!!
💯
I think going through a lot of the personal issues and drug/alcohol addiction when he was young, that many pop stars deal with, then coming through clean and sober with his health, helped him become a better person. So many pop/rock stars are ego maniacs with no humility, and destroy themselves beyond the point of return. Elton weathered that storm and came through a wonderful human being.
In my opinion he is at least at the top 5 of the greatest in music history of mankind ever.
For me, the very best musician
She wasn't just England's Princess she was truly as they say The People's Princess. My favorite lines of the song are "And you whispered to those in pain now you belong to heaven and the stars spell out your name." and also the line "We'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know."

Just incredible that this song has only been performed three times. Rehearsal, in the studio and at the funeral. This has to be one of the most amazing live performances ever.
Erm, he said that after the funeral, he would only ever play it again if “her boys” asked her to. At the “concert for Diana” when they were seen talking with him, i thought “oh, they are asking him to play the song,” but no, he played something else. I was surprised and slightly disappointed at the same time, but i respect it’s their decision, not mine.

Just a crowd of people with their thoughts of remembrance, respects and taking in the moment. No cell phones and cameras to detract from the moment. I miss those days...
Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart You called out to our country And you whispered to those in pain Now you belong to heaven And the stars spell out your name And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out long before Your legend ever will Loveliness we've lost These empty days without your smile This torch we'll always carry For our nation's golden child And even though we try The truth brings us to tears All our words cannot express The joy you brought us through the years And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned our long before Your legend ever will Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart Goodbye England's rose From a country lost without your soul Who'll miss the wings of your compassion More than you'll ever know And it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never fading with the sunset When the rain set in And your footsteps will always fall here Along England's greenest hills Your candle's burned out long before Your legend ever will
Thank you. Rest in peace Princess Diana of England. Goodbye English rose
thank you, man
Thank you so much Bruno2k19 for the lyrics. It's now my memorial for our dear departed Royal Highness Princess Diana.
I want this song play at my funeral
You made one mistake
Candle in the wind by " Elton John" is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.
i thought the funeral was on tv on Sunday later in September 1997 like 21st or 28th, cant believe it was 6th September on Saturday talk about quick arrangements, i was 10 years old and watched it in full i thought all day, did they show the whole funeral again on repeat on Sunday morning all day, it was emotional, maybe i got mixed up on the day and time or was i living in a parallel universe.
@Christopher Aldrich England
@Christopher Aldrich I'm From UK it really odd for me as i though Candle in the Wind 1997 come out before funeral, but i think i must be misleaded or mistaking judging by the online story's, i did watch the funeral back in 1997, but honestly thought it was late September not the start of September on Sunday, also that was quick setup from Sunday 31st August to Saturday 6th for all the preparations, what a job and everyone acting really fast for the service.
@Christopher Aldrich do you agree, did you thought it was a another date they shown the funeral then, because i thought it was a few weeks after she sadly died, it took place, or did they simply repeat the full funeral again on TV in UK on Sunday after.
@@bleeuk how are you doing today?
05/06/2023 We remember you, Queen Diana xoxo❤ I remember where I was when the news broke the world lost you.
Just finished The Crown with Diana's funeral. It's raining a lot here
Goodbye England's rose. May you ever grow in our hearts. You were the grace that placed itself where lives were torn apart. You called out to our country, and you whispered to those in pain. Now you belong to heaven, and the stars spell out your name. And it seems to me you lived your life like a candle in the wind, never fading with the sunset when the rain set in. And your footsteps will always fall here, along England's greenest hills; Your candle's burned out long before your legend ever will. Loveliness we've lost, these empty days without your smile. This torch we'll always carry for our nation's golden child. And even though we try, the truth brings us to tears; All our words cannot express the joy you brought us through the years. Goodbye England's rose, from a country lost without your soul, Who'll miss the wings of your compassion more than you'll ever know. Sung so memorably by her friend, Elton John
No Gingili
Sang with all his heart and soul. 😢
So there's a huge candle with arms and legs, wandering about the hills of England?
thank you for the lyrics
@@ThomasPowellNZ its not meant to be taken literally dude
No one can listen to this without getting a tearful eye. RIP Princess
Tearful eyes especially now if you are a lot more awake than you were 20 yrs ago. All I can think now from the start of this video is "these people are sick"! Just thinking how evil these people really are. Just think how these people (the elites) planned her death. Do you really think the Queen really wanted Diana around? If you are confused on that, there are plenty of research videos right here on YT. Again, my only answer to this now is THESE PEOPLE ARE SICK!
@Nikolai Frøyen are you from the UK?
I just did nigga
@@danielledufresne502 wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they did that ??????????????????????????????????? they are cold hearted and stuck-up
Danielle Dufresne yes exactly, so many people in my circle of friends all know about this and the evil power hungry Royal family. They don’t even need to have their assets valued. So in truth they make the rich people we know like Bill Gates look like a beggar. Same with the Rothschild family their true wealth is in the many Trillions and they built their entire fortune on deception, manipulation and blood. Elton knows this but can’t speak out and it’s hard to blame him. Thanks to the internet and different unbiased platforms people are indeed awake to all these horrible atrocities. The elites really trying to destroy countries identity. If you want to honour your countries values you are labeled a racist. Stay strong England, sending love from Australia
I'm American and this broke me then and still to this day!
Me and my mom actually watched the funeral for princess Diana this song brought me to tears when Elton John sang it RIP princess Diana
25 years, and still a kick in the chest.
Telling me how old I am now yeah :/
Me too how can such a kind and gentle person Diana she did good and she's still doing good praying for us
Doesn't it just..... :o(
I was teenager in CA with zero care about the British royal family, but I’ll never forget where I was when I heard that Princess Diana died. Talk about the entire world mourning. She was so loved from the public. Where there was so much dislike for the royal family, Diana was seen as the peoples princess. An average person thrown into a world or royalty and responsibility. She rose to the occasion….In 8th grade my teacher showed Diana’s wedding to Prince Charles to my class and went into great detail about the wedding. I remember her mentioning that there were tiny embroidered bees sewn into her wedding dress because Diana loved bees. The world mourned for her. The entire world.
@@jasondownsnet She was born a commoner. That's why she struck a chord with the rest of the world. She was one of us, and she never forgot where she came from, nor the people that helped her reach that lofty pedestal we put her on.
Freddy Mercury 1991 Princess Diana 1997 Two huge loses, world misses you, rest in peace 😥
and on July 15, 1997 Gianni Versace🕯🙏 the best friend (’’brother’’)of Sir Elton john who died because of a ’’fan’’ crazy
Freddie is relevant to what he’s talking about, because he was friends with Elton John. Freddie was one of the many who died young.
2021 prince (King) Philip
And George Michael 2016 😢😢
Eh michael jackson? The greatest pop star ever
One day Diana's son William will be the greatest and the grandest monarch England ever had due to his sagacious mother and his extremely graceful wife, Catherine. RIP Princess Diana.
Princess Diana, you are sorely missed ❤ Rest easy 2024
. and may Dodi rest easy , too . 🌿 .
25 years today the world lost its Princess. How is it been that long? Still brings tears to my eyes. 🌹
bump
Don't seem like 25 years.. she is always in heart ❤️💯
i even noticed that as well 25yrs and the queen had to die too on the same day to join Diana to hug her close once again and forevr
The British Royal family killed her and people higher up. Westminster British secret services.
Great Princess.
This was the funeral of the century. The amount of people outside crying was outstanding. I was a kid and still remember like it was today! RIP queen of hearts
No, check out the funeral of Yugoslavian president Tito, which was the biggest funeral in history. To say last goodbye came over 20 presidents, 34 presidents of parliament, 3 kings, 5 princes, many foreign ministers and more than milion people on the streets.
dite6s9mora dite6s9mora Diana's funeral was watched by 2.5 Billion people that's based on Google you can look it up, but it's useless even if the other has more people in funeral they are dead and we are next. After death is judgement, it doesn't matter how many friends or powerful people visited our funeral we will be judged alone.
Check out Churchill's funeral as well. A few details: Sir Winston Churchill died on 24 January 1965, aged 90. His was the first state funeral for a non-royal family member since Lord Carson in 1935, and as of 2021 it remains the most recent state funeral in the United Kingdom. The official funeral lasted for four days. Planning for the funeral, known as Operation Hope Not, began 12 years before Churchill's death. Attended by representatives from 120 countries, 6,000 people, and unusually by the Queen, more than 1,000 police and security personnel, involving nine military bands, 18 military battalions, 16 Royal Air Force English Electric Lightning fighter jets, a special boat MV Havengore and a train hauled by Winston Churchill, homage paid by 321,360 people, and witnessed by over 350 million people, it was the largest state funeral in history. The Queen broke certain royal protocols at Churchill's funeral. Firstly, it was a common royal etiquette for the monarch to not attend funeral service outside of the royal family. Secondly, she not only attended the service but was among the first officials to arrive at St Paul's, making her presence even before the coffin and Churchill family arrived. It is a royal custom in any event that the monarch is always the last to arrive. Additionally, it is a royal convention that the monarch is also the first to exit or end an ongoing event. As the funeral service was over, the Queen followed the Churchill family out of the cathedral. To these unusual deeds by the Queen, Nicholas Soames commented: "It is absolutely exceptional if not unique for the Queen to grant precedence to anyone. For her to arrive before the coffin and before my grandfather was a beautiful and very touching gesture. Churchill's funeral was the largest gathering of world leaders during the 1960s-and, at that time, in history. Representatives from 112 countries and many organisations attended, including 5 kings, 2 queens, 1 emperor, 1 grand duke, 2 queen consorts, 15 presidents, 14 prime ministers and 10 former leaders. The only notable absentee was Lyndon B. Johnson, President of the United States, who was ill at the time. The official representative of the United States was Earl Warren, Chief Justice of the United States. ... China was the only country not to send representatives to the funeral. The Observer reported on 31 January, saying, "This was the last time that London would be the capital of the world. This was an act of mourning for the imperial past. This marked the final act in Britain's greatness... It was a triumph. It was a celebration of a great thing that we did in the past."[
Why is it outstanding to cry in public over someone you never met and never knew? Serious question.
@@dite6s9mora73 it's not necessary to compare the funerals. Long live the Marshall and the queen of hearts
You know it's serious business when Elton John is wearing normal glasses.
Nach all den vielen Jahren, berührt mich dieser Song immer noch so tief, das ich weinen muss, wenn ich ihn höre..
The most professional performance ever..
I was in the crowd by St Paul's cathedral on her wedding day and saw her arriving in her carriage. My strongest memory of her funeral was those poor little boys walking behind her coffin and a wreath of white roses saying "Mummy". It was a brutal thing to make them walk so far like that.
Sweet memories never fade.
💔
Charles made them do it, such a shame, poor kids lost their mum and they are being paraded. We all miss her and will never forget her ive never met her but my father has as he was in the queens guards
Were our tears for the passing or the young boys?
her brother said he was told they wanted to walk only to find out later they never did want to Diana would be outraged that they were put through that whoever had that bright idea should take a look at themselves Harry was 12 and struggled for years after Will was just 15
You are the grace that placed yourself where lives are torn apart.. such a fitting statement for Princess Diana. She was a beautiful soul, so full of compassion and love for everyone. It’s heartbreaking that her husband didn’t return her love. She would have made such a beautiful Queen of England.
Today would have been the day that Princess Diana became Queen Diana. R.I.P England's Rose, Queen of Hearts ❤
I'm glad there weren't any camera phones back then
Me 2
Why-??
@@sonicinajarvauntedspeciali7245 so we don't have people like you in the crowd
@@SpkeNo1 oh shut the fuck up
@@SpkeNo1 no really...just shut the fuck up
I just found this. Diana was truly the people’s princess. Listening again now. I’m sobbing as I did in 1997. Such a great loss. Harry and Wm, you are both a tribute to your precious mummy.
She is the true Queen!
Amen.
The most emotional live performance of the entire 20th century bar none.

Twat.
@fank234 your a bag of shit you piss ant
bull shit
Robert McGhin Awesome
Listening to this song in 2021, tears still fall from my face, as they did in 1997.
Mine too God bless 🙏 you and your family 🙏❤️
Get a grip
@@robbiemontgomery581 Meaning?
Imagine what her boys went through taking that long walk
I wasn't born but I feel the pain of losing her she should still be standing with us now as she's our princess even more the people's queen it brakes me heart knowing they killed her of for sure she was a Devine soul to this world
R.I.P. Princess Diana. Sr. Elton is a master! Each finger touch on the piano and each word was soflty carefully choosed and used on point in perfect overwhelmed seconds of this masterpiece song!
In early September, John asked Taupin to revise the lyrics of their 1973 song "Candle in the Wind" to honour Diana, and Taupin agreed. On 6 September 1997, John performed "Candle in the Wind 1997" live for the only time at Diana's funeral in Westminster Abbey. The song became the fastest and biggest-selling single of all time, eventually selling over 33 million copies globally. The best-selling single in UK chart history, and the best-selling single in Billboard history, it is the first single certified Diamond in the US where it sold over 11 million copies. The 2009 Guinness World Records states it is "the biggest-selling single since UK and US singles charts began in the 1950s, having accumulated worldwide sales of 33 million copies"
Thank you for some perspective on this beautiful performance ❤️
I still cry after all these years. She wasn't just England's rose, she belonged to the entire world
Me as well. I stayed up all night crying my eyes out watching the funeral.
She did? I didn't know that. I thought she was just an adulterous airhead who parted her thighs to anyone willing to give her attention or cash, like that frizzy haired Al Fayed guy.
As a Canadian I agree 100%
Same here 😢
Biggest mass hysteria nonsense I’ve ever seen in my life, over someone who most people didn’t give a shit about. Once she died everyone seemed to know her. She was never a victim of msm . She used it when it suited her.
Princess Diana was more than a royal. I'd say angel
She was gentle, kind, and beautiful soul, for aure
that is why she was treated so badly and ultimately killed; the good people of this world suffer and the evil sometimes flourish; for a brief spell, albeit.
@@ronniemead805 Good and evil is imaginary.
Definitely an Angel 👑✨💎😇
Get a grip
Me and my mum watched Princess Diana's funeral and then he played "candle in the wind". We both cried during the ceremony but after this song, I was choking with tears. I'm still not ok when I hear it. This lady should never have been taken away from life this way. Rip sweet lady 🤍🕊
My grandmother may have been born in Germany, and immigrated to Poland and eventually the US.. but I think of her when I listen to this, and even before she passed this still remains true for me.. I cry every single time. Every one. Cherish every moment you have with those you love, one day they will only be a rose growing in your heart and those thorns will hurt but the beauty will bear through.
25 years and I still cry! She was loved all over the world!
Hello. How are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe out there?
yes she was and with everything she endured from that family , she still held herself with grace and compassion. I wish I could have met her and told her she was loved and admired by the world ❤️
You're right. I was a baby when she died but strange enough.....I've grown to love her and her transition makes me SAD
Tak terasa 25 tahun sudah tp Princess Diana tidak terlupakan dan membuktikan dicintai dunia
Oh brother.
