Consert on Lady diana's Birthday

_________________

Prince William and Prince Harry marked the 10th anniversary of their mother's death with an event to celebrate her life.

The Concert for Diana on 1st July 2007, which would have been Diana's 46th birthday, was one of the first events to take place in the new Wembley Stadium.

Proceeds from the concert will go to charities supported by the late Princess, and to charities of which the Princes are Patrons.

Diana, who died in a car crash in a Paris tunnel 10 years ago in August, would have been 46 years old on July 1, the date of the charity "Concert for Diana" at London's new 90,000-seat Wembley Stadium.

It would have been a birthday party she would have loved, her sons hope.

Performing at the event will be the princess's favourite stars like Duran Duran and Supertramp as well as Sir Elton John -- who played a special rewritten version of "Candle in the Wind" at Diana's 1997 funeral.

Prince William, 24, told the BBC that he and his brother Prince Harry, 22, believed that a concert was a more fitting tribute to their mother -- dubbed "the people's princess" by Tony Blair -- than just a church memorial service.

"We wanted something that would really bring her whole spirit -- her joy of life and everything that we thought she stood for," Prince William said in the interview broadcast earlier this month.

The church service scheduled for August 31 will be a quieter affair attended by people from both sides of the family, including Queen Elizabeth II.

A glamorous, extroverted and outspoken women who both courted and crossed swords with the media, Diana cut a different image from most royal family members who are more reserved in public and follow centuries-old protocol.
