This is June 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 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.

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.

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

This is one of the best live performances in all of music history for the most beautiful Diana, taken from us much too soon.

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

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.

I was blessed to have seen him in concert twice. Once when he was touring by himself and then one when he was with Billy Joel the most amazing concert I've ever been to. I'm now 60 years old and still think about those concerts

I’m crying watching this. Elton John lose his beloved friend Gianni Versace in July 97’ and in August of the same year (a month apart) Diana passed away, both tragic deaths. My respect

My life was torn apart and my heart cries every single moment when I put on Dear Eltons song" Candle in the Wind". I will never forget Diana's wedding day when I was in the UK watching it on Television at my cousins place. I am an ex British Airways Flight Attendant and have a soft spot in my heart for that Country. RIP Diana. You are in heaven with the Angels and with Mother Theresa with whom you did have very close connections with the work she did. We will never see or have a beautiful ANGEL like DIana on earth or in this universe again. You are very much missed very very dearly in this world and Universe. Love you Ann 😇❤❤‍🩹❤❤‍🩹

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"
