What I find suprising is how deep sentimentality still seems to pervade the British national conciousness. Diana is being cannonised and even worshipped. Next step sainthood had she been catholic. I find that very unsettling and disturbing. It was the same when she died. British society seems to need icons of worship to replace traditional religious teaching and leadership. It's all founded on clay, hollow and fairly pointless.
The music was pretty average too.

Why are you embarrassed? Why don't you celebrate every anniversary of your birth, no matter which one it is? Life is too short to only celebrate birthdays every 10 years! In fact, I suggest that you celebrate each day that you're alive, Richard.

The Concert for Diana was well meant and well received by people all over the world, and that is what will keep the English Monarchy alive. I'm just sorry I couldn't be there in person!

I must say the Princes did a wonderful job of pulling of a beautiful concert in memory of their beloved mum, the beautiful LADY DI. It was a great success . Their mum would have been so very very proud.

Rather tacky the whole affair. Instead of having a bunch of Wills and Harry's pointless "friends" in the Royal box it would have been more appropriate to invite underprivileged children who wouldn't get the chance to attend an event like this - after all it was for charity - wasn't it???

God bless the two young princes. They certainly love their mother - although she has been gone 10 long years. In their short life, that is an eternity. That is an awesone thing for young boys (men) their age to do, I believe. But after all, how many young men have a mother who was a "beautiful young princess?"

What a beautiful tribute they gave to her...and will give at the church memorial service later this year.

From my age 50 perspective, I think Diana would be proud!

I have never been a huge fan of the monachy, but with Charles, Harry and William, I am seriously considering my profound admiration again.

Obviously, with Charles the reasons are different, but last night I was absolutely dumbfounded with the Princes concert, to celebrate their mothers life.

The atmosphere from my living room was amazing.

All emotions covered. From remebering Diana and the brilliant and courageous work she did, to being flabberghasted at the reaction she encouraged from people.

It's also highly encouraging to know, that all proceeds went to Diana's charities, which she adored.

Kudos.

I think the princes have been brought up very well and I truly admire our monachy again.

Princess Diana and I shared a birthday, and I always think of her now as I survive another year.
We were both mothers, but she didn't live long enough to see her first grandchild, let alone her first great grandchild as I have. She deserved better than she got in life, leaving one cold family and marrying into another. Her boys at least were loved, and loved her.
I was so sad for her sons when she died. Diana had tried to give them as normal a life as possible, with trendy clothes, visits to theme parks etc. In the care of their father, they were pushed into stuffy suits and tweed jackets that looked like hand me downs from a bygone age. (If you attend a Royal Banquet you will see the Royal Males in fancy dinner jackets that are old as the hills and with grubby cuffs. I don't think they ever throw away old clothes.)
I missed seeing the concert on TV, because I had family visiting.
It should have been a celebration of her life.

I remember idealizing Diana from the day Lady Di was introduced to the public. After ten years of her reputation being dragged through the mud by people who only wanted to profit off of her, it was wonderful to have a day to remember the wonderful things she did.

How brave of the Princes to commemorate their mother in this way. She is always in their thoughts but if they wanted to put on a concert in memory of the lost 10 years-good for them. All the proceeds go to the charities the Princess supported, so it helped in several ways. Diana will never be forgotten and maybe they will have concerts every 10 years? What is disrespectful? They were celebrating the things she enjoyed! Give them a break!

Bad production by the bbc unfair to cut short some acts ie Headliner Elton John!!! Why was it sold out yet so many empty seats?

gary, Carlisle, UK

It was wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.
Everything about it was good even the weather !!!

It's good to see that the monarchy can bring so many people together in good spirits and at the same time give them a chance to express their respect for the Princess.

I was proud when Clark Denmark signed about Diana as Patron of BDA. Then about 30 minutes later I was disgusted that manager of Thorpe Park said that Diana talked to Deaf and Dumb child. How could BBC broadcast that pre recorded 'DUMB' to 1 billion people around the world? It is totally out of order in 21 st century to say that word. Deaf are not dumb people.

Beside that, an enjoyable concert to mark Diana 's life.

Antony Rabin, Battersea, London

Disrespect? Embarrassing? Rubbish. Incredibly brave and uplitfing, a suitable homage to an incredible lady by her loving sons. Her 46th birthday yes, but more important the fact it is also the 10th year anniversary of her tragic death. This concert has done much to off-set the protracted mourning period of the last 10 years, the endless dissection of the events surrounding the tradegy - and may finally allow the monarchy and all its loyal subjects to remember the Princess for everything she stood for, everything she achieved before her death and the incredible legacy of the good works she began - all of which have benefitted millions around the world, and a lot of which her sons have successfully continued. Without high-profile patrons to champion causes that the rest of us would much rather pretend don't exist, the world would be a much poorer place. This concert raised a huge amount of funds, and a huge amount of good spirit - both giving incalcuble benefit to so many. Good for them

Gill, Lincoln, UK

I find ridiculous and outrageous to say that the concert of Wembley Stadium was a disrespect for the Monarchy, more that sixty thousand people went there to remember the late Princess of Wales and all what she had done for the neediest people in the world. All the money will go to the charities, which Diana Spencer supported and patronized in life. Her sons Prince William and Prince Harry did their best to remember their mother in the only way that she wanted, with lots of joy and happiness, which was shared by thousands of Britons and millions of people around the world thanks to the television. She must be very proud about them, so please do not distort facts and jump to false conclusions. The British monarchy will last for many years to come, and hopefully Prince William will be the successor of his grandmother HM Queen Elizabeth II.

I personally welcome this moment of life in the princess lives.

Mo, hastings, U.S

the Princes did a wonderful job. I truly enjoyed it.

kast, toronto,

How embarassing! How is the apprioriate theme the second annivrersary of her death? Should it not be the 46 anniversary of her birth? WHen did anyone celebrate his 46th birth?


If anything contributes to the demise of the monarchy this disrepect will surely lead the way,
