Sep 4, 2017
Mourners have been gathering at the gates of Kensington Palace since dawn to lay floral tributes and personal messages, with many breaking down in tears as they remembered the late royal. Throughout the day, the sea of tributes has grown proving that the influence of the woman dubbed 'the People's Princess' is as strong as ever on the 20th anniversary of her death. Her friend Sir Elton John, 70, led the tributes tributes to the Princess of Wales by posting a picture on Instagram of the pair together, with his arm around the Princess writing: '20 years ago today, the world lost an angel. RIP.'The star famously performed an alternative version of his poignant song Candle In The Wind in honour of Diana at her 1997 funeral, held just days after she was killed in a Paris car crash.Prince Harry later revealed that the song touched him on the day, telling a BBC documentary: 'Elton John's song was incredibly emotional, that was part of this whole trigger system which nearly brought me to the point of crying in public, which I'm glad I didn't do.'On the 10th anniversary of Diana's death in 2007, Sir Elton opened and closed a Wembley Stadium concert organised by the Duke of Cambridge and his brother in memory of their mother.
