Remembering Princess Diana

If you are like me you can remember 10 years ago where you were when you found out that Princess Diana died. I can still remember how I couldn't believe that such a thing could happen to such an amazing person. I loved her spirit and what she stood for. Now 10 years later she is still as popular as when she was alive.

A tear ran down the cheek of Prince William as his younger brother, Harry, spoke of their late mother, Diana, during Friday's noontime service to the late princess at the Guards Chapel near Buckingham Palace in London.

"To us, just two loving children, she was the best mother in the world," Harry said, praising her "unfaltering love" and adding that, behind the media glare, to her sons she was someone "who laughed hysterically and uncontrollably when sharing something silly ... Encouraged us when we were nervous."

He urged the family and friends, and those around the world who follow Diana's life, to look to the future and remember her for being "fun-loving, generous, down-to-earth and entirely genuine."

He added, "Put simply, she made us and so many other people happy."

The solemn gathering marked the 10th anniversary of Diana's death and had been organized by her two sons with Prince Charles. Included on the guest list were Queen Elizabeth, Charles and Diana's friends, singer Elton John, photographer Mario Testino and film director Lord Richard Attenborough.
