She was and still is England's rose.she did what she believed in and in millions of people they respected her for that but also a lovely lady and no disrespect to her memory that was no accident.rip di ❤
Everyone loved Diana, it didn’t matter race, religion, colour or creed. She was the people’s queen. It’s 2024 and I will forever miss her. God bless her
Even though I'm an American, Diana's life and death touched me deeply. She was my ideal of what a princess is supposed to be. Beautiful inside and out, and with a loving heart. You could see that she wasn't just performing for the cameras. She genuinely cared about others. This was a fitting tribute because Diana really was England's rose.
Coming out of London England , a proud royalist and defender of our monarchy, you I'm afraid find things easier to hate, and I guess it suits your limited intelligence, oh well.
Im an American and would just like to state that the death of Princess Di had an effect on the whole world. May her gentle heart and soul RIP ☝🕯🕊 🙏 She is STILL missed even now in 2023.
With one hand shake Princess Diana was able to kickstart the end of the stigma & fear against touching people w/ AIDS / HIV. Simply incredible if you ask me.
Watch the funeral eulogy, given by her brother Earl Spencer, just after this song at service….. deeply touching and emotional! The applause after both Elton John’s song, and her brothers eulogy, say how much a nation and the world loved and respected her…. 2.5 billion people around the world watched her 5 hour funeral !! I stayed up all night in the US, to watch….
I watched this on tv. An amazing performance by Elton. Such an emotional performance and he finished it perfectly. I had the pleasure of seeing Princess Diana in London. A memory that lasts forever. Thanks for sharing. 🎉🎉❤❤
"Candle In The Wind" was written by Elton John & Bernie Taupin in 1973 in honour of Marilyn Monroe. Elton later used the same melody but changed the lyrics to pay tribute to Princess Diana in 1997. It was changed to "Goodbye England's Rose".
Princess Diana was a beautiful person inside and out. 🙏♥I am an Elton John fan I watched the funeral . Also the wedding. She requested a patriotic Church Hymn to be sung at her wedding. They also sang it at her funeral. It is called ... Jerusalem. The group ELP recorded Jerusalem and did a fanatic job. HOWEVER it was initially banned from the BBC because "how dare you turn a beloved church hymn into a rock hit." Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Jerusalem .
It could only take a consummate professional and a dear friend of Diana to pull that off.. no one will ever come close to a tribute like that - not now, not ever! That is the definition of a heart felt tribute to a beautiful friend. God bless you Elton and thank you.
A few interesting facts about this version of the song: 1- it’s the second best selling song of all time, only beaten by White Christmas. 2- the song was #1 on Billboard for 14 weeks, a record he held for over 20 years. 3- he only performed it once, and vowed to only perform it again at the request of Prince William or Prince Harry
Ooof, this hit hard. Friday was at a friends funeral who was killed and chopped into pieces by her husband. She was one of the nicest people in the world, only 34yo. Gone too soon.
Cried like a baby when I heard the tragic news. The wall of flowers piled up outside buckingham Palace weighed 10 TONS! I can imagine 10 ton's, but not of flowers that is a LOT of flowers!!
I am not and have never been a royalist but I will always remember losing her, it was like I lost something close to me and I still can't explain why I felt that way to this day still missed by us all
Bernie Taupin (Elton John's lyricist) is a genius for coming up with these new lyrics and Elton sang this song beautifully, it was a perfect tribute to Princess Diana.
J' ai eu l' occasion d' assister à tout celà lors des funérailles de Lady Diana . I remember this . j' aimais bien le sérieux apparent de la Princesse et j' aimais aussi beaucoup Elton JOHN . Thank you very much J.J. ..... A+ 💔
I bought a cd with just one song on it... this one. Some folks thought it was lame to repurpose a used song... and I can only imagine what he might have written given time.. but there was no time... and changing up the lyrics might seem easy.. but he captured the essence of the loss to the world... with only days to do "HER" justice. and, on a personal note.. thanks for bringing back that memory, because its a bigger memory... I took my mom to many concerts.. but the last one before she passed was Elton... playing three 'small towns' in Alberta Canada. I live in Red Deer... and he played these three small towns to 'work out the bugs', for his then, next world tour. hard to even imagine bugs in the show, since it was just Elton, at the piano.. no band, no singers... just 2 hours of good ol' Elton. My Mom's vision was crap by then, so she couldn't really see his outfits, but unlike when I took her to Pink Floyd.. the Rolling Stones, etc, etc... there was no "show" that she missed... we had 2nd row seats, and the spotlight on him and his piano was enough for her to know she wasn't really 'missing' anything. OK... I've babbled long enough... and I'm crying...👍🏼✌🏼🇨🇦 ...Back for an edit.. you mentioned seeing her in your mind's eye smiling, etc, but not maybe knowing much about her... the lines in the song about placing herself in the world... she was big on and travelled to open the world's eyes to children dealing with land mines, etc. The line "You placed yourself where lives were torn apart"... SHE was what the royalty needed... too bad things got so f*d up, she died running from paparazzi. SIGH.......... (I have a couple, well, a few folks on my list of "Gone TOO soon"... a musician(John Lennon)... an author(Robert A. Hienlien)... and a "Princess"🤔
thankyou for your reaction. This is a truly beautiful song to Princess Diana. She was my fave member of the royal family. See’s still missed today. I vividly remember her funeral being broadcast on tv in 1997. Take care 😘🏴😭 RIP Princess Diana
Hi Jo Jean. I know that Princess Diana was a good friend of Elton John and they were involved with each other. This friendship has given depth to this sensitive and beautiful song. I wish Diana was still alive and among us sharing her goodness.
I was 12 years old when our beloved Diana was taken from us, and I remember watching this with my mother, and she was inconsolable. God bless our diana, princess of Wales.🇬🇧
Princess DI....Died in a car accident.....So sad Loved World Wide.....Princess DI was different,she didnt act like royalty,she was down to earth,the regular citizen could relate to her...England's Queen forever
Merci Elton pour cet bel hommage rendu à notre Reine des coeurs sa Majesté Diana Spencer. Même après 26 ans je la pleure encore. Personne, je dis bien, ne prendra sa place. C'est et sera toujours Notre Reine! Diane du Québec Canada. 😢❤❤❤❤❤❤
It was no secret that Elton John and Princess Diana were REALLLY GOOD FRIENDS so him performing at her funeral was a no brainer really. She was taken soooo ahead of her time it's simply not fair.
Omg i started balling when George Michaels came into view. He is a legend that was loss way too soon also. Princess Diana was one of the most beautiful people I had ever seen I remember watching her get married to that guy I didn't understand but i was young. Have you ever heard the original he did for Marilyn Monroe that one is just as sad. I have always loved his music
I'm an italian guy. I remember perfectly the day she died. I remember myself listening to the news on television and I was so sorry. And I remember the day of her funeral. I saw it on TV again and I was mesmerized and moved seeing the huge crowd and the commotion on the faces of English people. That was something you very rarely see. I'm not English but I'm still moved by all that.
It's perfectly fine too show sadness cry if you want it's ok to show your emotions during this video for this song it shows you're not a robot but your human.
I was 14 when sadly we lost Princess Di. She may of been stripped of her royal title but that never meant a thing to the People of Britain. She always will be the People's Princess. Even now as a 40 year old man it still makes me emotional looking back on that day. I just remember the whole country hitting the brakes hard! Instant stand still! We all shed tears over the news of her passing. So so sad as she was finally happy in her life. Elton john loved her dearly and to write this and perform this for the world after his loss must of been so difficult. A beautiful song for a beautiful Princess! Sorry for the story. She was just everything to my country and so loved by all.
Can you imagine performing to the world live at a Royal funeral. My goodness the nerves 😮 She died the same day as Mother Theresa and there was a joke at the time that she lived her life “like a sandal in the bin”. 😂 Just to lighten the mood
Uma parte do mundo se foi com ela, pois o que essa moça fez pela humanidade é indiscutivelmente uma coisa extraordinaria, descanse em paz Diana Spencer.( Lady Dy )
The unspoken emotion behind all of this is ironically the Spencer family that Diane was from are more "Royal" than the German Interlopers that currently occupy the Throne. She was used as a young Brood Mare by the Saxe-Cobourg Gothas whilst Bonnie Prince of Wales Charlie had his side chick Camilla (now "Queen" 🤮) n the wings hence the anger from the British People not forgotten to this day and personally I have never given a Monkeys about the Royal family but I can see what transpired.
@@EMPRESSJOYJEAN I have a suggestion for U, not a reaction/ review suggestion but for Ms. Empress' enjoyment.. Have U heard of a Jazz Singer named Samara Joy?? She has her own style based on the Singers of the 50's & 60's.. I think she is great, I especially like "Guess Who I Saw Today".. She does lots of the Standards.. ♠Mr.G..
Don't get too choked up about it. He rewrote the song he made for Marilyn Monroe and stapled Diana's name onto it. And don't be misled into thinking Diana was some great humanitarian. Throughout her public presence in life, she would show up to some location where humanitarian effort WAS being made, would stay long enough to do an interview and photo-op, then promptly leave, typically in no more than 8 hours or so. Her cousin Fergie however, has put in DECADES of humanitarian effort in the actual locations, _living there_ in those desperately hard situations, on the frontlines of the areas Diana only briefly visited for those photo-ops. Fergie did the work, hands-on, but because she was deemed unattractive, nobody paid her any interest. Diana was effectively useless throughout her time despite the international media salivating over her every move.
I don't like Feudalism or Monarchies as a concept. I believe they are relics of the past and should stay there. But I can still appreciate Dianna on the merits of being a kind and generous soul. The unfortunate irony that historically so few in positions of power actually used it to help people. So very few examples of that when you think about it.
@@user-cv8gn8hy9m There's probably a whole lot more context to that situation than we know. Being that they are a 'Royal' family might also suggest she didn't have much say in the marriage, which was likely more of a binding financial or political contract. I don't really know enough about it to pass judgement. It is an objectively bad thing to happen but I doubt her love-life precludes/precluded her from doing good where she could. We can't all be saints in every aspect of life.
