Diana’s funeral

September 6, 1997
Princess Diana’s funeral was held on this date. Over a million people lined the streets and the world-wide TV audience for the funeral ceremonies was estimated at over two billion.

Elton John sung a new version of his hit single Candle In The Wind at the funeral. The new version, which replaced “Goodbye Norma Jean” with “Goodbye England’s Rose,” became the best-selling single of all time. Diana was buried on an island at her ancestral home at Althorp.
