 CONCERT
FOR
DIANA
Directed
by
Janet
Fraser-Crook,
Sally
Norris
It
has
been
a
decade
since
Princess
Diana’s
death
in
Paris,
and
1
July
2007
would
have
been
46th
birthday.
Her
sons,
the
Princes
William
and
Harry
instigated
this
live
concert
on
her
birthday
to
commemorate
her
life.
She
surpassed
the
stiff
royal
exclusivity
and
made
these
creatures
more
acceptable
to
the
larger
population,
not
only
of
Britain,
but
the
whole
world.
The
show
was
broadcast
live
to
140
countries
and
featured
a
range
of
acts
including
some
of
Diana’s
favourites.
They
included
Duran
Duran,
The
Feeling,
Bryan
Ferry,
Anastacia,
Status
Quo,
Orson,
Natasha
Bedingfield,
Rod
Stewart,
Joss
Stone,
Nelly
Furtado,
Take
That,
Kanye
West,
Sarah
Brightman,
Andrea
Bocelli,
and
more.
Besides
the
bands
and
singers
it
also
featured
live
appearances
and
video
messages
from
comedians
like
Ben
Stiller
and
Ricky
Gervais,
sportsmen
like
David
Beckham
and
Boris
Becker,
statesmen
from
Nelson
Mandela,
and
Tony
Blair,
to
Bill
Clinton,
and
actors
like
Gillian
Anderson
and
Dennis
Hopper.
Various
documentary
shorts
on
Diana
and
her
life
further
enhance
the
entire
experience.
