Althorp is a  beautiful sixteenth century house built by Sir John Spencer and has since become famous for being the childhood home and last resting place of Lady Diana the Princess of Wales.

Often called the 'People's Princess', Diana devoted much of her time to the public, particularly children. After her separation and divorce from Prince Charles, Diana's causes, such as the worldwide banning of landmines in particular, became even more important to her.

When Diana died on 31 August 1997 many people throughout the world felt that they had lost someone special.  Diana will be remembered for  her style and elegance, as a loving mother, and as a beautiful, warm and passionate lady.

Candle In The Wind

Tribute To...

Princess Diana

ELTON JOHN

Elton John’s "Candle in the Wind"
Rewritten and performed at Lady Diana's Funeral

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.

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.
