- The procession clears Hyde Park and goes through the Wellington Arch toward Buckingham Palace. Chris De Burgh arrives at the Abbey after Tony Blair and his wife Cherie. But first we see Elton John arriving with his then boyfriend, later his "Civil Partner", David Furnish and are joined by their friend George Michael. Elton and David got married in a Civil Partnership when they became legal in Britain in 2005.
The fact that they had to stop George Michael and ask him for his invitation kills me a little bit every time
Such a sad day. Watched her wedding as a young girl, her funeral as a young woman.
Her funeral was bigger than the wedding.
George looked so handsome.
Rip George Michael and princess Diana!
George Michael at his most gorgeous ❤
This woman had a special place and purpose in this world. Losing her was like losing a close family member.
This is so... One of the biggest moments in the intelligent worlds history.
Elton John & George Michael - mayby the greatest entertainers of all time.
A historic moment.
RIP Diane ~ You're death was one of the biggest story's in the the media's ever.
Very formal and very english. Total respect. The English way.
I dont know anyone on planet earth that could die and have this much mourning around the world like Diana's funeral did!
wow, i wish i was a fly on the wall of that cathedral church, just to hear elton john practice that song. but as the old saying goes, "Only a girl can dream".
if I had to bear a funeral this long I would freaking die I couldn't bare losing someone close to me but having to go through all this I would be soo emotionally exhausted.
LOL "and George Michael on the right, with the beard" as though no one would know who he was lol. Sorry, a sombre video but I just found the bit of commentary amusing.
Le 09.02.2017 George tu as suivit la Princesse Diana pour son Enterrement et ce jour je te suis aussi George ,Repose en Paix avec La Princesse et Michael Jackson ;;Betty de Bretagne ;;
its erie to see george there
The "Queen" is probably the only one that is smiley and happy on this day - She finally got rid of the one person in the family that had a heart for the average person!!!
R.I.P DIANA MY SWEET LADY
Thank you.
@GANN010355 That was one of Princess Diana favorite songs. I think it was a beautiful homage and that Diana would have loved the song.
Why on earth Georgie and Kenny had to part ? Fadi was with Boyzone's Stephen Gately's life too. Dont trust him at all,dont even think he is gay. Such a great soul with an amazing one of a kind voice... and yet, another extra ordinary talent to dust.... Melancholic like GM's death.
Cant believe how different Elton looks just over a decade ago!
@tribecatom very good point... i'm amazed he was able to hold it together throughout the whole song...*how* did he not break down!
its a wonder how those poor welsh guards walked all that way in the hot sun with those big pooffy hats!
Elton John said he had no time to compose a song from scratch and I do not think he had a quiet song where Princess Diana died ignorant of fact Elton was one of the few people who at least will take the delicacy of dedicate a song
If those photographers hadn't been chasing her car and if Henri Paul hadn't been drinking and stayed sober, that car crash never would've happened and Diana, Henri, and Dodi Fayed would still be alive. The press would never leave her alone, even once. A very stupid, ridiculous car crash that could have been prevented.
@GANN010355 That was one of Princess Diana favorite songs. I think it was a beautiful homage.
she did attend......I never seen the clip. Princess Di was a big fan of Diana Ross.
Well said!
thanks for the information!
@041012vic You don't understand, This was a huge deal, and a tragedy. A great lost to the royals, I would be extreme.
No, only Elton sang. You do see him singing the hymn Cwm Rhondda in the ITV footage, but you can't hear his voice distinctly.
Don't forget he only had six days to come up with a song, and at a time he must have been upset over the death of someone he was a friend of.
I watched the car come thought london i was only about 7 but i rember it so well everone claping when the car came. my uncal was one of the police on the bikes that followed the car on her funaral .
Geeky I know but the actual distance they went was just over three and a half miles. I found out on Google Maps.
yeah, it was. I saw all of it. I cried for her boys. I know what it's like to lose your mom when your going to need her more than you had previously. Prince Charles did an amazing job holding them up and raising them and spending more time w/them than he had previously. He had to be upset himself. Divorce or no, you still have human compassion for people. Leastways, you should anyway.
@afishafish it was in honour to Marilyn Monroe , lisen to the words of the song, they where about her as it was first reasled in 1973. Then it was remade for diana in 1997 as even you can agree its about her. "Good Bye Englands Rose" Who else are the refering to? no one only Diana.
wjn7 is right... Elton John's a professional stage performer. He did an amazing job.
Did you not read any of the coverage of the inquest? The conspiracy allegation was examined in minute details with secret service witnesses even called to give evidence. She was not murdered and that's obvious.
@aliciaanne Diana agreed to write the forward to Gianni Versace's book Rock and Royalty. However,she had not seen it before she agreed to do it. In it were photos of royals next to photos of nude models. Diana backed out and Elton John and she fell out over it b/c he was to give a performance at the benefit. They reconciled at Versace's funeral.
Didn't you follow the inquest at all. It was an accident caused by a drunk Fayed employee and a dodgy security set up. Fayed is to blame and his absurd allegations are merely a smoke screen to try and disguise his culpability.
End of Story.
I disagree about Elton. I used to live next door to him and he couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. He's also got a great deal of talent and does work extremely hard. If he was rude to you it's probably a reflection of your attitude towards him. Tit for tat!
well said
@periperigord
DAMN!!!!!
Maybe you should write that in the sky!!!! Well said!!
I read that Elton John and Diana had a falling out. Does anyone know what that was about? I'm glad they reconciled before she passed.
To my knowledge, she didn't attend it.
If you look through the other clips leading up to the start of the service, I'm sure you'd see her if she did.
if he was really in deep grief as he say he couldnt practice and rewrite a song and sing it in her funeral
hypocrytic and naiive to believe
What is with all the negative comments! Please take it elsewhere..
@GANN010355 I disagree completely. I say it's more difficult to put words to a song which already has a melody and words and get it done so seamlessly. Princess Diana's version was a sweeter and touching version by far.
it says he was "here yesterday afternoon, practicing in The Abbey" don't be a jerk all your life, take a day off for crying out loud.
Anyone know why GM didn’t attend Gianni Versace’s funeral the month prior to Diana’s?
PeteGeeza86, What's wrong with being gay? I'm surprised that you're shocked. It's something that's been going on since time began except that it's only recently that it's become acceptable. One can't help the way one's born - black, brown, white, hetero/homosexual - whatever. It all adds to life's rich tapestry. How boring it would be if we were all the same. Throw off your prejudices and embrace the world and its differences and you'll become a more tolerant and likeable individual.
was tom cruise at the funeral?
@GANN010355 I also like Elton John said he had no time to compose a song from scratch and do not think he had a quiet song where Princess Diana died ignorant of fact Elton was one of the few people who at least will take the delicacy of dedicate a song
Read the inquest transcripts...
Well it's apparent that he desperately tried to get Dodi and Diana together, treating Kelly Fisher like dirt in the process. However, there's no evidence that 'who was dealing with' undertook any criminal actions toward Dodi, Diana or anyone else.
Please... lets just be nice OK???? If that makes me gay- so what??? I actually loved Di and miss her.. Do you? I am part of the 41 of Freedom.. Di always supported us! We love her and to ALL haters we only express her love by loving you! Much Blessings! Doc!
She wasn't murdered.
Then why does the original song say "Goodbye Norma Jeane"? Is the average joe's first and middle name Norma Jeane as Marilyn Monroe's is?

didnt singer DIANA ROSS attend Princess Di's funeral.........do you have the clip when she arrives?
No he didn't. He only met her once.
Did George Michael sing?? please somebody answer
did michael jackson bless him go to princess dianas funeral?
Europe is more liberal..liberal isn't always a good thing..but the song is great.
Muhammad Al Fayed did'nt know who he was dealing with when he tried to push Dodi on to Diana.
bet oyu couldnt do anything better than type comments on youtube

Not always, but I assure you to a gay, person of color, or someone not in the upper sectors of society, it's better than the opposite.
He'd probably just been to the public toilets on Hampstead Heath!
