News...Celebrity Quotes and News...Did They Really
Say That... Prince Harry's tribute to 'best mother in the world' at Princess Diana memorial service "The best mother in the world." This is how Britain's Prince Harry remembered his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, at a service to mark the tenth anniversary of the death of "the People's Princess". In an emotional address at the memorial service, Harry called for his mother to be remembered as she would have wanted. Holding back the tears, the 22-year-old Prince said: "When she was alive we completely took for granted her love of life. "Behind the media glare, to two loving children she was simply the best mother in the world. "She kissed us last thing at night, her beaming smile greeted us home from school. "She made us and so many other people happy. May this be the way she is remembered." The service, in the Guards Chapel at Wellington Barracks in London, was organised by Harry and his older brother Prince William. Diana's favourite hymn, I Vow To Thee My Country, was sung during it and many in the congregation wept as they sang it. The 500 invited guests included British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and his two predecessors, John Major and Tony Blair. Also in attendance were celebrity friends of the Princess, Elton John, Cliff Richard and Richard Attenborough. Members of the Royal family present included Prince Charles, Queen Elizabeth and her husband Prince Philip. Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Charles's second wife, was notably absent. She made a last minute decision to stay away, reportedly afraid of being heckled - she was the woman Diana referred to when she famusly said there were "three of us in this marriage". The service was organized by Diana's two sons Prince Harry and Prince William. It was relayed through loudspeakers to a crowd of thousands of people gathered outside the chapel and broadcast throughout Britain. Earlier a two-minute silence was held at the Harrods Store in Knightsbridge in honour of Diana and Dodi Fayed, the son of the store's owner. The two died on August 31, 1997, in a Paris car crash when their Mercedes stuck a pillar in the Pont de l'Alma tunnel as they were being chased by paparazzi. News Files |
