The memorial service for Princess Diana has been conducted today at the Guards' Chapel. An emotional speech was made by Prince Harry on this the 10th anniversary of her death.Prince Harry's speech moved listeners and indeed himself virtually to tears.
"When she was alive we completely took for granted her unrivalled love of life, laughter, fun and folly. She was our guardian, friend and protector. She never once allowed her unfaltering love for us to go unspoken or undemonstrated.
"She will always be remembered for her amazing public work. But behind the media glare, to us, just two loving children, she was quite simply the best mother in the world.
"To lose a parent so suddenly at such a young age, as others have experienced, is indescribably shocking and sad. It was an event which changed our lives forever as it must have done for anyone who lost someone that night."
In attendance were 110 members of the Royal Family and a total congregation of 500. The service was relayed to the public outside - sound only.
Floral tributes have again, as at her death, been left by the gates of Princess Diana's former home, Kensington Palace.More bouquets were left at the tunnel where the fatal incident occurred. A note, written on a portrait of Diana in a jeweled crown, read: "10 years already, Oh how I miss you." It was signed "Monique de Luxembourg."
