This Evening radio 2 played the top 100 million selling singles and the no 1 was Candle in the wind which was Elton Johns tribute to Princess Diane
I have not heard this song for 12 yrs and it brought back many strange memories of a strange week
I remember walking through the village to my mums on the day of her funeral and it was deserted (no cars,empty shops) and who still remembers Eltons twitching eyebrow as he played the song at her funeral

Before Diana died my DH played Candle in the Wind in a piano shop on our first date and it has been our song ever since.

Didn't care for her when she was alive, don't care for her now.

I do remember my brother had been to stay and he drove home on the day of the funeral - he said he'd never had a quicker journey!

My SIL went into labour on the day of Diana's funeral.

When she arrived at the hospital, a midwife told her that they were observing a two minute silence and would she like to join them in watching the funeral on tv or listen to it on the radio? Hmm

I will let you imagine her response.
