I have no idea how he held it together through this entire performance. I watched this funeral in a hotel room in Orlando, and I was in tears as soon as he said 'England's Rose'. Unbelievable performance for an amazing person who was taken from us far too soon. RIP Diana.
I am an American, but felt like she was my princess too! After hearing of the accident I cried myself to sleep, upon waking the next morning, I heard of her passing, I immediately called my mom, I was sobbing she's dead mom! They killed her! They really killed her! My mom cried right along with me. Diana was my hero! I loved everything about her! Her love as a mother, her charity work, her class and even her fashion sense! She would be such a great hands on Granny if she was alive! Bim sure she is watching her boys and her grandchildren from heaven with pride! ❤
@@pobstrelyeah you keep telling yourself that. The Mercedes she was in had already been damaged in a car wreck prior. She was murdered by the Crown. The People followed Diana, loved her more then the Queen herself. Do some research.
@@Ann-ez8ml you know what's so great about people they believe every lie ever told them. So the news guy in the white fiat found burned alive in his car doesn't ring a bell? Have you even followed up after Paris? Because if you haven't then you know nothing. France has to say what they are told by the Crown. British Royal dies in their country, no working camera's in that area. They do as their told. Tell me why that ambulance sat outside and didn't move? She was stable when placed in that ambulance. Her husband wanted her dead. She's dead. King Charles married the Woman he committed adultery with. Whatever needs said. Good luck. Because no one believes that Doctor, not even the British public.
I remember when this was released. Even 26 years later, it still makes me cry. I remember hearing about her death. I got home late from work, and the news said she'd been in a wreck. An hour later, her death was announced. I cried so much.
Didn't know Elton did this live during the funeral. To be able to give such a fantastic performance in these circumstances takes incredible Poise and talent. Outstanding.
"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".
Shops closed that day, I sat and watched the funeral and cried my eyes out. I don't think the Royal Family realised Just how much we loved princess Diana till the days following her death and then funeral. I saw her, she was in Edinburgh and wore a Royal Stewart coat dress.
The emotions at the time were high throughout the UK. During the funeral procession as her coffin passed the crowds lining the streets, someone started clapping, something that had never been done before, the proper English thing to do to honour the person who had passed away, as their coffin passed before you, was to bow your head and remain silent, but Princess Diana's loss couldn't just be observed in silence... The clapping took hold from person to person, street to street, reaching out to everyone watching on television, joining everyone together in their feelings of sadness, of loss but also honouring Princess Diana's memory, showing the gratitude and love that the entire population had for her as a person and the amazing things she had done 🕊️🙏😢
Imagine he was performing this having not only been a personal friend of Princess Diana's but he was also right in front of those sweet boys and their whole family which I'm sure was heartrending. I don't think I could have held it together.
This reminds me of one of Cus D'Amatos quotes. A professional is someone who shows up and performs no matter what they feel inside. He certainly did that.
I cried on live television on the 20th Anniversary of 9/11 and American fans of me cried when they watched my mother hugging me on live. I was just 19 years old doing this for the American people and then I paid tribute to the heroes of united 93 2 years later as I turned 21 not long before that day
Princess Diana's death hit me real hard. I was surprised at how it affected me, I watched the entire funeral ceremony and the drive out into the country to the Spencer estate for burial. The next day was the funeral Mass for St Theresa of Calcutta.
I was 13 years old and remembered my mom recording this moment on vhs. This was the moment in our history. I'll never forget this moment in time. Rip Diana You brought the best of us out. Sorry we couldn't carry that compassion out to this current affairs. We truly admire and appreciate everything you gave to this world. We're forever grateful for you. And we owe you everything. Thank you.
He also performed this new rendition specifically for Diana's two sons, who asked him to sing at their mother's funeral. Diana and Elton were close friends.
If this performance doesn’t make you cry there is some broken in your soul. The greatest thing is that Elton has never sung this version again. Which is how it should be…
Elton John said after the funeral that he would never perform "Candle in the Wind" again. A once only performance. How he managed to do it on that so sad day I'll never know. It's just reduced me to tears again😢
I remember staying up and watching this live. You could hear a pin drop when he finished. Then from the crowd outside you heard the clapping. It was tremendous. Still brings me to tears. ❤
I remember a friend coming over and telling me as I was working on a project. We all loved Diana. She is still missed. Thank you far sharing this song.
To this day I question the effect her death had on me, I had never met her , she was not my friend or family but her passing hurt me to the core . Diana had the rare ability to touch hearts and I guess that is why I still miss her . Rest in Peace sweet Princess.
There is a picture of the two of them together at Giani Versace's funereal just two months before this. Shes leaning in and comforting Elton. Its earie to see
I didn’t hold it together when I paid tribute to the bravest passengers of flight 93 and I’m so relieved that Woody.EXE told me “You go back up there and show them how brave you are”. Paying tribute to Todd was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and the crowd outside the private United 93 memorial in Wales was ligit wailing their hearts out for the families who were watching this live and they were properly thinking “How can she do that?! She’s absolutely incredible”. I cried for Ty families who watched me
i still remember waking up and coming down the stairs to the living room and switching the tv on and the death of Princess Diana was on every channel and i was 13 years old and wow that was 26 years ago and i can still remember it as if it was yesterday, thank you so much for sharing your reaction Sarah the whole country was in mourning as we lost a true and loyal princess who cared for everyone and most definitely the really poor countries of the world where she visited to try her best to try stop there suffering and pain she really was a one of a kind and still to this day is missed very much.
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 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 Goodbye England's rose May you ever grow in our hearts You were the grace that placed itself Where lives were torn apart 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 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 Thanks to Elton John/ Bernie Taupin, 1997, and Genius Lyrics
I was gutted that day. Sat in fron of the tv and of course watched everything. The next day I bought this cd single and I still have it. Know exactly where I was and what I did that day. And yes, when I see the Windors all together, I still think: there's one missing.
@@ShelbyFarrow indeed it was. And I will never forget that funeral. It was on a saturday and I had to work. It was in a store and the streets were deserted. I think we had 3 customurs the entire day. In the basement we found an old tv set and we watched the entire funeral in our empty store. I will never forget that day.
Candle in the Wind - A beautiful song. Such a tragedy.yes it affected me. I remember that funeral. I remember that they sang "Jerusalem" which Princess Diana requested at her wedding. ELP did a great version of it but the BBC block it for a while as being sacrilegious to make it a hit.
I had the opportunity to see Di in San Francisco in late 80's. We were on the second floor (all glass) & we made a scene for her & she laughed & blew us a kiss as they drove by. It was wonderful. Charles was on other side & everyone was running to see Di🤣🤣. I miss her!😩😩
Thank you for your tribute to our Princess. We all loved her with a passion. Sir Elton did a fantastic job and held it all together, but from what I heard the aftermath for him was enormous. She was, she is, Englands rose. 🌹❤️🇬🇧
I have a copy of that very song by Elton on CD and it's never been opened to this day. Elton released only a limited number of them to the public after the funeral.
@@aurouratrashworthy8680 I still watch the videos that are entirely photos of her. When I see a photo I've never seen before I get a little thrill. The Royal Family really did her dirty.
Wow your looking so awesome today awesome great song for Princess Diana awesome reaction by you again thank you so much for sharing your video with us love it Sarah.🌹❤️❤️🤗👍
Dear Sarah, Thank you for putting this out!!! I've never heard this entire version. I am in the United States. And I know here, the UK & all over the world she meant so much Grace, Goodness & helping people. DIANA WAS THE QUEEN!!! WHEN YOU PUT OUT SO MUCH GOOD, YOU GET IT BACK!!! 😇🌹🌹🌹
i was 16 just out of high school i remember watching the funeral on t.v .. I'm 42 now and i still get emotional hearing that song it was the perfect song the perfect tribute to our true queen princess Diana our rose she will never be forgotten.. R.I.P DIANA 🇬🇧🌹🙏
She meant so very much to us, hugging aids patients when told not to go near them, walking in landline territory and simply being in love with her boys. Sir Elton John was a great confidant in Princess Diana and it must have been his honour.
Спасибо ,что я услышала песню в исполнении Элтона Джона,посвященную принцессе Диане. Даже не зная перевода,хочется плакать потому,что музыка и исполнение передают боль утраты.
I cry each and everytime I hear this song this performance and how Elton made it through this amazes me. They were good friends and to pay tribute to her like this was so touching and beautiful... So agreed he was singing with every part of himself to make it through 🥺❤️
Thank you, Sarah, for sharing this very special video. "Goodbye England's Rose" is such a beautiful and moving song. It never fails to touch my heart. Elton's performance at Princess Diana's funeral was truly extraordinary and unforgettable, wasn't it? Many people remember it as one of the greatest live performances in history, as it was delivered under immense emotional strain. The lasting impact of both the events surrounding Princess Diana's death and the 9/11 tragedy was profound, and they left a lasting impact on everyone's memories and emotions. Music has a unique way of resonating with our feelings, and "Goodbye England's Rose" serves as a powerful reminder of a significant moment in history, evoking feelings of sadness and nostalgia. It's incredible how music can touch our hearts and bring tears to our eyes, even years after a performance. These moments become embedded in our memories and serve as a testament to the power of music to connect people on a deep emotional level. 💕 -- Iota (Admin of "Elton John & The Eltonites!", the #1 Elton group on Facebook and on RUclips)
Princess Diana is the only Royal that I know that has died and had a song dedicated to them, Not even The Queen had a song, ( not counting God save the Queen, cos look how good that worked ) Diana was special and always will be
Elton made that piano sing with him that day, he has always been great with the piano but something high above us guided his hands in this poignant and heartfelt tribute nothing less for kind and brave Lady D who became a sister to him (and for whom i feel nothing less for what she did for the community me Elton and millions of other people are a part of; a royal doing what she did for us in the time frame she operated in...the real royal born queen of england).
YEAH SARAH, THE SONG ( CANDLE IN THE WIND ) IS FROM ELTON'S 73 DOUBLE ALBUM ( GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD ) IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT BEFORE, AMAAAZZINGGGG GIRL!😊AND IT'S ABOUT: MARILYN MONROE 😊YOU TAKE GOOD CARE
I still well up when I hear this.. I don’t like Elton John normally but his tribute was beautiful for an amazing stunning English princess….Yes she will always be a princess RIP Diana ❤
I'm so glad that you're covering this today. I've heard this song on the radio but not in a very long time. However, I've never seen this video before. I watched the funeral on TV but watching this now has hit me hard today just as it did that day! Her death hit me harder than even I would have ever expected. Since I'm American, I maybe shouldn't have been so impacted by her passing but I just couldn't help but think of all the things that she left undone. I've cried a little bit over a few "celebrities" before but not like I did over the death of Princess Diana! The last time I had cried that much over a "celebrity" like that was in 1977 when Elvis died! 😢 This video is such a good tribute to Di but I couldn't see it very well through all my tears and I fully expect it will be the same if or when I see it again. 😢😢😢😢 Good reaction and I subscribed so I'll be back again to see what you do next. 😊
I haven't seen this since it was first televised on that sad day.. it still brings tears to my eyes. There are only 2 celebrities that have passed that I still get emotional about.. Princess Diana and Selena Quintanilla.
Imagine how Diana would be today. Proud of her two loves of her life and the way she'd be with her grandchildren. If Diana was alive today Charlotte would be stuck to Diana like glue as Diana would shower all her grandchildren with continued love ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Princess Diana was such a strong woman. She gave so much love to the world but had so little for herself. Her whole story is so sad. But at her funeral, where the whole world was crying for her and listening to Sir Elton John's voice, I really hope that heaven exists and she could see it from above and see how much she was loved. Gosh, I still have to cry when I see this.
I remember lady Diana. She was the kindest person i have ever known until today. She truly had a big heart. She was an angel per definition. When i heard the news that she was dead i was on a holiday trip in swiss with my parents. We were all shocked! This song really touched millions of people if not billions worldwide!
We were about 15kl away from the accident when it happened . When we returned home we got off the ferry and England was closed, we did not see another vehicle from Plymouth to Newark upon Trent, it was the day of Dianas funeral. Never forget that holiday.... Still brings tears to my eyes all these years later....we lost our english rose for sure...
The original song was beautiful and popular, however; The way Sir Elton John rewrote this song, all new lyrics directed at Princess Diana, made it just beautiful and so sad at the same time. Elton & Lady Di were truly friends, they both loved and respected each other so much, publicly and privately.
IMHO, One of the greatest live performances of all time. Under the duress of the circumstances, he was flawless.
Absolutely agree, I remember watching it live astounded that he got through that note perfect.
I agree, how he held it together during that performance I'll never know!
you could see he had cried before his performance because he was all red-eyed, but he sang it beautifully.
She was a bright light,and a true friend to Elton,and to many...R.I.P.Diana❣
Amen to that!!
I have no idea how he held it together through this entire performance. I watched this funeral in a hotel room in Orlando, and I was in tears as soon as he said 'England's Rose'. Unbelievable performance for an amazing person who was taken from us far too soon. RIP Diana.
You don’t see it now but on the day just as he finished the song he welled up
It was such a beautiful tribute to an amazing lady ❤️
I am an American, but felt like she was my princess too!

It was a tragic car accident but no one killed her.
@@pobstrelyeah you keep telling yourself that. The Mercedes she was in had already been damaged in a car wreck prior. She was murdered by the Crown. The People followed Diana, loved her more then the Queen herself. Do some research.
The surgeon in france said that if Lady Di had worn her seat belt she would've survived.
@@Ann-ez8ml you know what's so great about people they believe every lie ever told them. So the news guy in the white fiat found burned alive in his car doesn't ring a bell?

I think it hit everyone around the world that love her hard and today all of us say she's the queen.
I named my daughter after 3 Dianas. Princess Diana, Diana Prince (Wonder Woman) and Diana, the best friend of Anne in "Anne of Green Gables".
Every tear you shed was matched by hundreds of ours. Thank you Sarah, this was needed. ❤
I just want to tell everyone out there if you all watched this and cried it’s ok we all did
Listening to this song instantly transports me back in time

They explained exactly that in the video....
They actually wrote it for Ryan white before he passed. That was difficult to hear that one also knowing the reason
I'm sure I heard once that it was kind of an accident in that he said he wanted something like candle in the wind.
@@andreadeamon6419 you are thinking of "Gone Too Soon" by Michael Jackson
@royfugate no - I'm not. Elton wrote that for Ryan before he passed. Michael did gone too soon after he passed
She was a beautiful person and the song fit her so well. We all mourned her loss around the world.
In tears again watching this. 😢😢 Englands Rose, she sure was❤❤
Her legacy will in the very near future, be the King of England.
We will always miss you Diana 😢❤️

For more than a week, the entire world was brought to our knees. Princess Diana was a beautiful light in a dark world.

Originally there was suppose to be a line about the press hounding her.
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
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
Goodbye England's rose
May you ever grow in our hearts
You were the grace that placed itself
Where lives were torn apart
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
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

Oh God...yeah...I cried every day for months...I remember.

MASTERPIECE
I watched her funeral live. I cried then and cried again today.
Wow your looking so awesome today awesome great song for Princess Diana awesome reaction by you again thank you so much for sharing your video with us love it Sarah.🌹❤️❤️🤗👍
Still crying whenever I hear this song! Yep, right now! Beautiful song! ❤❤❤

Music has a unique way of resonating with our feelings, and "Goodbye England's Rose" serves as a powerful reminder of a significant moment in history, evoking feelings of sadness and nostalgia.
It's incredible how music can touch our hearts and bring tears to our eyes, even years after a performance. These moments become embedded in our memories and serve as a testament to the power of music to connect people on a deep emotional level. 💕 -- Iota (Admin of "Elton John & The Eltonites!", the #1 Elton group on Facebook and on RUclips)
Princess Diana is the only Royal that I know that has died and had a song dedicated to them, Not even The Queen had a song, ( not counting God save the Queen, cos look how good that worked ) Diana was special and always will be
Hello my dear. You have taken back to one of my favorite songs from his outstanding work. I hope you will enjoy.
I don't think you will find a single person here in the UK who didn't love Diana she was truly special ❤
I remember watching this performance in our school hall. Brings me to tears to this day.
Thank you “Eldon John”
Made me cry again 🙏💖
Era a princesa do mundo
Elton made that piano sing with him that day, he has always been great with the piano but something high above us guided his hands in this poignant and heartfelt tribute nothing less for kind and brave Lady D who became a sister to him (and for whom i feel nothing less for what she did for the community me Elton and millions of other people are a part of; a royal doing what she did for us in the time frame she operated in...the real royal born queen of england).
YEAH SARAH, THE SONG ( CANDLE IN THE WIND ) IS FROM ELTON'S 73 DOUBLE ALBUM ( GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD ) IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD IT BEFORE, AMAAAZZINGGGG GIRL!😊AND IT'S ABOUT: MARILYN MONROE 😊YOU TAKE GOOD CARE
I cried during the entire funeral. So damn sad! He barely made it thru the song. ❤❤❤😢
Aunque les jo*a sigues en nuestros corazones
REINA DIANA 👑🤍🌻
I still well up when I hear this.. I don’t like Elton John normally but his tribute was beautiful for an amazing stunning English princess….Yes she will always be a princess RIP Diana ❤
Chills throughout the song. 😢
I'm so glad that you're covering this today. I've heard this song on the radio but not in a very long time. However, I've never seen this video before. I watched the funeral on TV but watching this now has hit me hard today just as it did that day! Her death hit me harder than even I would have ever expected. Since I'm American, I maybe shouldn't have been so impacted by her passing but I just couldn't help but think of all the things that she left undone. I've cried a little bit over a few "celebrities" before but not like I did over the death of Princess Diana! The last time I had cried that much over a "celebrity" like that was in 1977 when Elvis died! 😢 This video is such a good tribute to Di but I couldn't see it very well through all my tears and I fully expect it will be the same if or when I see it again. 😢😢😢😢
Good reaction and I subscribed so I'll be back again to see what you do next. 😊
That's why he is sir
actually he was knighted for his tax "contribution"
I am sitting here crying because this song takes me back to the funeral. Thank you 🙏
Gorgeous, thank you for sharing it. I had not heard it. I was busy raising small children at that time so I missed all the mourning and the funeral.
When Diana passed away, the whole world cried. She was such a genuine and kind person.
She was the people's princess 😢
I haven't seen this since it was first televised on that sad day.. it still brings tears to my eyes. There are only 2 celebrities that have passed that I still get emotional about.. Princess Diana and Selena Quintanilla.
The late Princess of Wales (Diana) was not a celebrity..she was Royalty.
I miss her so much
He sung one for mother Theresa also, it was called “ Sandals in the bin”.
Imagine how Diana would be today. Proud of her two loves of her life and the way she'd be with her grandchildren. If Diana was alive today Charlotte would be stuck to Diana like glue as Diana would shower all her grandchildren with continued love ♥️♥️♥️♥️
A sad day.
Princess Diana was such a strong woman. She gave so much love to the world but had so little for herself. Her whole story is so sad. But at her funeral, where the whole world was crying for her and listening to Sir Elton John's voice, I really hope that heaven exists and she could see it from above and see how much she was loved. Gosh, I still have to cry when I see this.
I remember lady Diana. She was the kindest person i have ever known until today. She truly had a big heart. She was an angel per definition. When i heard the news that she was dead i was on a holiday trip in swiss with my parents. We were all shocked! This song really touched millions of people if not billions worldwide!
Even now thats hard to watch without a lump in your throat..😢
We were about 15kl away from the accident when it happened . When we returned home we got off the ferry and England was closed, we did not see another vehicle from Plymouth to Newark upon Trent, it was the day of Dianas funeral.
Never forget that holiday....
Still brings tears to my eyes all these years later....we lost our english rose for sure...
The original song was beautiful and popular, however; The way Sir Elton John rewrote this song, all new lyrics directed at Princess Diana, made it just beautiful and so sad at the same time. Elton & Lady Di were truly friends, they both loved and respected each other so much, publicly and privately.
If you weren't crying at the beginning of the funeral, you were when he sung this, 26 years ago,the world stopped and cried.👋💕🇦🇺
