Princes celebrate at Diana gig

Princes William and Harry celebrated the memory of their mother with tens of thousands of people at a star-studded concert.

More than 63,000 saw Take That, Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Duran Duran, Sir Tom Jones, P Diddy, Kanye West, Lily Allen and Joss Stone take to the stage for the Concert for Diana stage at Wembley Stadium.

The event saw an increase in security following the terror incidents at Glasgow Airport and in the capital.

William and Harry were aged just 15 and 12 when Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris on August 31, 1997. Their mother would have been celebrating her 46th birthday on Sunday.

Harry shared a kiss with girlfriend Chelsy Davy as the event began and William was joined in the royal box by Kate Middleton, fuelling rumours the couple are back together.

Sir Elton, who sang Candle In The Wind at Diana's funeral in 1997 and was one of her close friends, opened the concert with Your Song. He also closed the event with Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting, Tiny Dancer and Are You Ready.

William, 25, said: "This event is about all that our mother loved in life - her music, her dancing, her charities and her family and friends. We just want you to have an awesome time and enjoy the line-up."

The concert ended with never-seen-before home movie footage of her childhood.

Many in the crowd hugged and wiped away tears as they watched images of her as a smiling toddler and a young girl playing on a swing, riding her bicycle and dancing for the camera.
