It's ten years since Diana, Princess of Wales died in a car crash - barely credible when you think she's never really gone away, thanks to the conspiracy theories and the endless difficulties swirling around the long-delayed inquest. But this is no time for solemnity, as this is a happy occasion, organised by her sons Princes William and Harry. To celebrate their mother's life, they've persuaded some of her favourite artists and bands to take part in a concert from Wembley Stadium. It's not Glastonbury, so this is hardly cutting-edge stuff (Elton John, Duran Duran, Bryan Ferry, Take That), though Lily Allen and Kanye West are around to make sure we don't forget this is actually 2007. But, in a way, the music isn't really the point; it's memories of a sad and complicated woman that will be at the forefront of most minds, as the concert features films about Diana's life and work, and messages from celebrities and world leaders.
