Princes William and Harry have organised an event to mark the tenth anniversary of the untimely death of Diana, the Princess of Wales - their mother, and to celebrate her life. It takes place at the new Wembley Stadium, London on July 1st, which would have been her 46th birthday.
She died tragically on 31st August 1997, following a car crash in Paris, France.
Performers include many of Diana’s favourite singers and some that the Princes felt she would have appreciated if she was still living today. Music was provided by acts like Duran Duran (Diana's favourite band), Lily Allen to a medley from Andrew Lloyd-Webber's musicals - something to suit everyone's musical tastes!
Proceeds from the concert will go to charities supported by the late Princess, and to charities of which her sons are Patrons.

My parents and I were lucky enough to meet Lady Diana when I was younger. She opened a new Maternity ward at the hospital where I was born. I don’t remember the day, as I was so young, but my mum said she was a “wonderful woman who was very down to Earth”.
I have some photographs from the day in an album. I hope to scan them into my journal to show you all. I haven’t quite figured out how to do it yet though! It’s a two-in-one printer and scanner.
The Princess looked so beautiful in the photographs, dressed in a navy and turquoise frock. So elegant and ladylike! People will be remember the tremendous amount of humanitarian work she did throughout her short life, and her sense of humour!
Lady Diana Spencer shall always be fondly remembered as "the People's Princess".

Hi Leigh. Watched the concert most of the day to-day and throughly enjoyied it. It so great that you have special memories of Dianna, she was an amazing woman, Its such a shame she was so unhappy in her private life. At least she had two wonderful sons. Kathie.

Lovely entry Leigh ~ look forward to seeing the pictures you have of Diana ~ and loved the ones you put in this entry ~ I watched most of the Concert yesterday and enjoyed it and the money raised is going to very good causes ~ Ally
Watched all the concert yesterday as you know. It seems that only some of the royals and Diana's so called "friends" ever said or say anything bad about her. The ordinary people she met truly loved her and she cared about them. How nice that your Mum got to meet her.
Wonderful entry, Leigh.
And how interesting that your family got to meet her! She was such a lovely woman from what I've read (I, too, was only 7 at the time of her death-- and in a different country altogether) and her life was indeed cut too short.
Enjoy your day.
Morgan

Great tribute Leigh. Look forward to seeing your pictures; I would like to have a scanner, but it would have to be very simple !
