I don't think there will ever be a funeral service to equal this one.

Quando cielo e terra si toccano in un istante di eterna bellezza

Astonishingly beautiful and atmospheric...

Montserrat Caballé couldn’t have done better.

I never iunderstood why Ms Dawson was not made a Dame for this most beautiful heartfelt performance. Kiri ti Kanawa was made a Dame for her pperformance at the Royal Wedding. I loved this so I telephoned the BBC to ask if they were intending to issue a CD of Princess Diana's funeral service. The answer was 'yes' and as soon as it was issued I obviously bought it. It is a most treasured possession.

Thank you for posting this. I tried for years to find it. I watched the funeral on TV and Lynne Dawson's pure, perfect voice, seared my heart as well as the hearts of the billions more who were devasted by this young woman's senseless death. I saw children crying, young men and girls crying, people sobbing, men and elderly women with handkerchiefs dabbing their eyes. It was a truly devastating event. And, the silence.....only the sound of horse hooves on the pavement. It, in fact, was more sorrowful than President Kennedy's funeral, even with the cadence of the mournful music, Jackie Kennedy walking, walking, this woman, so that the world could see what they had done to her and our nation. But, Diana was so young, so beautiful, so privileged to be a Royal Princess, the Princess all little girls dream about and who will be their Prince Charming. Well in these two cases, Diana and Jackie, the Prince was actually that Frog we are warned about. Diana, in love, infatuated, perhaps, with Prince Charles, no guidance, no mentor, no family person to stand at her side and counsel her. I lived in England, near London, from 1959 to 1962. I was 15 at the start and charmed by royalty. Seeing their public behavior was inspiring. Their beautiful clothing was something to rise to. I learned to sew my own dresses to get the look I wanted and that I could afford. Queen Elizabeth was so patriotic and dutiful. What a supreme model. Never saying anything untoward. Would that the United States could have a person in a role like hers to take public events and duties off the shoulders of the President. Perhaps that is what our vice-president should do. Instead, it's all about how to keep your job....keep getting re-elected. Say anything, anything, reverse your positions, raise money from unions and corporations and associations, whatever. Keep getting elected. The monarch is also the one the civil service, police, other government workers work for. They in fact are not public servants but rather duty-bound to the Queen. What a good system, right? Yet, no. Queen Elizabeth staying in Scotland for so long before returning to Buckingham Palace. And, I remembered the tragic death of elementary school children in Wales when a ridiculous mountain of rain-soaked shale leavings from a local mine flooded and covered the school and those children and teachers. It took the Queen how many weeks, months, to go there and display her grief? Did the government Ever prosecute the owners of that mine? They should be rotting in Hell and hopefully dead by now. The fake tear....that woman and her family are cold-hearted monsters dedicated only to keeping Their jobs. Blood does not flow in their veins. I am very sorry to have come to these conclusions because having visited Great Britain seven or more times since 1962, I love those people and their villages, and their preserves, London (my favorite city in the world), the Tube system, fish and chips, the cathedrals and their choirs and their composers (Elgar, for one), the Proms, on, and on. Such a fabulous culture. Not perfect (evil treatment of the Irish people, Indian people....) Love, Love, Love is in my heart and soul. But, no longer the Royal family. What will the UK do? Seems today they are as unhappy with government there as the US is with theirs. Diana, to save her sanity, chose, chose, to focus light of the reality of AIDS, land mines. This brave woman, all alone, going forward into danger. Her husband, the philanderer and that conspirator, Camilla. So now that pair seem to be doing good things, truly good things. But never forget, they are cold and evil. So what will William do. Seems to have a wonderful wife and children. Yet, this wonderful Kate having to bear up under cancer, tells the world their is no fairness. Do not teach your children that things should be fair. Teach them instead to persevere, be resourceful, strong and brave. Teach the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do to you. The press, and media, are another group of monsters. Make no mistake, only the story counts, getting it published or on TV. Say anything, hound people. All for being paid a sum of money at the expense, often, of people's careers and lives, and the truth. They should go among us with a marking so the rest of us can get far from them. Anyway, Lynne Dawson's ethereal voice got me started. Thanks for reading.

Everything top quality - as always.

I’ve returned to watch this again. 2024 and we remember this day like yesterday. I was working as security that day at the funeral, a day I shall never forget. After the Courtage passed by I had to work next to the huge screen in Hyde Park forming a human chain with collegues. We could only hear what the thousands could see on the large screen as we were looking out towards the crowd. I have never seen so much sadness as far as the eye could see. 😢 x

When it showed the kings and queens of England and the camera is kinda spiriting upwards…….. Imagine if Diana was still around today…. And this never happened

Divine voice and the acoustics must of been enlightening to the core, liberating the Spirit.

Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death, when you come to judge the world by fire.

This is truly the most perfect expression of this deeply tragic death of beloved Diana and the daily loss for all her family. Thank you for posting this magnificent performance from Diana’s funeral. What a gift Mrs Dawson has. God bless you, Mrs Dawson.

Hauntingly beautiful which summed up the solemn occasionally perfectly.

That day the world stopped, possed in shock not knowing how to start again and move on. I don't even know how we moved on but am certain ot was by God's grace❤❤❤ love you Diana francis. All we wanted is for her to be happy.🌹💐🇿🇲

Whow! Mrs. Dawson, your Prayer fly very high, and deep in the hearth!

I have warmed to this!! Wasn't keen at first

Just like prince Harry, I am still in denial of Diana's death😭😭

One part of the funeral that I remember vividly 😭😭😭miss you alot Diana 🪴💓🇿🇲

I always wondered what the singers name was when I first watched the funeral. I loved her voice and thought my high school choir director would have been proud to hear this soprano Lynne Dawson so beautiful and dignified the way she performed this with such grace on such a sad day for England and the world.

Purtroppo i media fanno passare sempre Elton John, dimenticando tutto il resto

I imagine this would have been pure torture for the boys though

This is the most moving music I remember of Princess Diana's funeral

Excellent work!

Utterly heartrending, so beautiful. I can't listen without tears welling up. Lynne Dawson delivered pure magic.

Still missing your presence on earth. 🌎

Wow

A gem in one of if not the most moving public funeral ever.

HOW BEAUTIFUL THE MUSIC 😪 HOW SAD THE OCCASION 😭

One of the most talented sopranos on the planet, such a tribute to perform this for Diana....

Breathtaking rendition of Libera Me by Lynne Dawson. It is possibly the most memorable part of the funeral, along with her brother's speech. The requiem was Diana's favorite piece. Solti was meant to give this concert as a memorial to Diana. Solti died himself, and they dedicated the Libera Me which features here to both Diana and Solti: ruclips.net/video/rSuxRbHFzQQ/видео.html

My God those pianissimos.

Lynne Dawson captured the sound of mourning and plaintive Seraphim and Cherubim distraught over the soul of Diana leaving the earthy plain for eternal rest all too soon. So haunting. Captured the emotion of the world.

What a beautiful voice!

I hadn’t heard this before. Awesome!

LYNNE DAWSON'S VOICE IS DIVINE

Wonderful 😢

LYNNE DAWSON VOICE IS ANGELIC THAT STANDS ALONE

BEHOLD GOD IS NOT MOCKED JUSTICE WILL COME TO THE PUNISH THE SIN

This sublime piece of music was used in the 1965 film The Greatest Story Ever Told when Jesus was carrying the cross. It sent chills up my spine then, but as I came to know the entire Requiem over the years it has moved me even more. Listen to both Leontyne Price and Monserrat Caballe and your spirit will soar beyond belief. And, yes, Ms Dawson did a superlative job under the most trying of circumstances.

Maestoso

This was absolutely out of this world the way Lynne's voice sailed through the Abbey was just absolutely wonderful. It still makes me gasp. Forget Elton John's ghastly song this is absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ Pure perfection 💖💖💖

Yes indeed folks, this was magnificent stuff, well done Lynne Dawson and the Choir and the Conductor, wonderful. I'm quite sure Diana loved it and was bopping along to it

Who watched the movie "The Queen" and searched for this song?

1:51 and on...

This is new to me, the coincidence is crazy. I didn't know this was played at Diana Spencer furneral. 🤔

The damaged trousers angiographically transport because mask unexplainably confuse midst a legal collar. marked, gray greasy great drain

Lynne Dawson is an heroic figure, able to give her all before an audience of billions.

The choral part was abridged at 3:29.
