Ten years ago, on a sunny September morning, the world said it's final goodbye to Diana, Princess of Wales.
In Westminster Abbey, the People's Princess, was given a regal farewell in a state funeral, the guests included charity workers, entertainment stars and politicians, as well as family and close friends. The world applauded Earl Spencers speech and quietly wept to Elton John's revised song, 'Candle In The Wind '97, which later went on to be marked as the worlds biggest selling single since Live Aids 'Do They Know It's Christmas'.
After the pomp and cirumstance, the Princess was laid to rest on a island in the Oval Lake at the Spencer family estate, Althorp, which lies deep in the heart of the Northamptonshire countryside. The last we saw of our Princess was when the hearse carrying her coffin slowly made it's way through the main gates and up through the estate.
It was a sad day, but a fitting funeral for a woman the world loved.
I hope Diana is now resting in peace and enjoying some happiness that was not forthcoming in her life.
