Thread Name: Lyr Add: Candle in the Wind (Elton John)
Subject: RE: Goodbye, England's Rose
I'm sorry to disagree here, Shula, but I think that Elton John's rewritten Candle in the Wind was very fitting for this tragic occasion. Like the late Diana, it has always been a favourite song of mine since childhood. It's frightening to think that it should be sung at her funeral but it contained all the right ingredients, nostalgia, tenderness and power. It was extremely well performed - how he didn't break down in the middle of it I will never know.

I'm still in tears when I read it.
