Princess Diana's Funeral Part 2: The Cortege Emerges

At 9.08am, the Cortege emerged from Diana's London home, Kensington Palace, to begin its near two hour journey to Westminster Abbey where the service was due to begin at 11. When it turned onto the public road, some people in the crowd threw flowers. Others cried.

I think Diana was turning her back so they wouldn't get a photo. It's so sad. I wish she was still with us.

[@Trund27]

Wow...When the crowd first see the cortege and people start crying...she sure had (and still has) a powerful affect on people.

[@caropapa]

23 yrs later i come across this and it still feels like yesterday

[@Francesko263]

No one will be like her. She was the queen of the people. We'll never forget you, Diana. You're an angel now...

[@ashvin0508]

This video still gives me goose pumps when i hear people crying:(

[@soapwonder]

I never stopped loving her, this makes me so sad! What a loss!

[@philipphelan4795]

shes always be remembered as the princess of the people RIP Diana

[@LanaSummer]

The video that gets me is when her funeral car reaches the motor way and the people line up along the hard shoulder to throw flowers and see her off. The news reader says "The people were with her every step of the way"

[@AmyCantrellVids]

Still makes me cry to this day!

[@Hugomad2]

“We love you Diana” it goes Str8 to the bone wow

[@lucycatism]

Those beautiful horses. Diana would be so proud. God bless you Diana. You were England's crown.

[@jrpacer6355]

2023 watching this a day after the coronation I remember when our sweet Diana passed the cries of the people of Britain unreal

[@yamirzender222]

made me cried hearing those pains from the people,,THANKS DIANA TO BE WITH US,,

[@TheAnn2shoes]

It was absolutely tragic but please remember that Diana was a human being, with faults, just like us. It helped that she was especially beautiful - we all like to adore beautiful people, don't we? A sorry end to her short life but I hope and pray she rests in peace.

[@neil73]

I don't know how i stumbled upon this, but i'll never forget those cries of grief as the coffin emerged from the gates of Kensington palace. This is the first time i've watched this footage since it was broadcast, nigh on 12 years ago now.

[@jabba7784]

What an awful day this was so upsetting but I was so proud as it was my father and uncles regiment pulling that coffin.

[@estrellapamintuan7155]

She is an extraordinary woman that is why the whole world loves her.

[@rebeccakaas5480]

So sad. It's been what like 20 years now since then and I still cry over this.

[@lucycatism]

I can't stop being amazed at the majesty of these horses. Fourteen years later, I hope they have been retired and living the good life! Thanks for posting. Janice

[@yeovil50]

I had the pleasure of meeting the Princess once, not for long just a minute maximum. However, even though I am not what you call a staunch royalist, I did remember that I was in the company of someone very special . I also remember she had a way of looking at you (me) directly in the eyes that made you want to hug her. I was so sad when I learnt of her death that Sunday morning. The week following her death was one of the most saddest and remarkable weeks in modern British history.

[@Pete4000uk]

If Britain had a heart, it broke the day she died

[@schustette4]

I was 6-years-old and at the time, I didn't really understand exactly what was going on. All I knew was that a princess had died and the country was giving her a funeral. But now that I'm 26, I actually understand all this.

[@caithnessviolinist7903]

I remember this day. I was only 17 and my parents took all of us to London where we saw part of the funeral procession and the HUGE sea of flowers left outside Buckingham Palace. The crowds were so immense that one of my little sisters was nearly crushed. However, the atmosphere was not of malice, but of a remarkable grief which I have never before experienced (and almost certainly never shall again).

[@lizvandenheuvel2518]

Elizabeth Jones i was pregnant from my son i was gutted sat all day watching tele i still watch it back and cry😢RIP Diana🌹

[@caithnessviolinist7903]

Sorry to hear that :-( Some things we can never forget.

[@mushymunch28]

this is just hearbreaking to watch. i wish she hadn't die. so sad. :( i wish her happiness and peace wherever she is.

[@henricorecta2665]

We miss you princess diana

[@keilub]

after watching the royal wedding between prince william and kate middleton, i am again in awe of princess diana without her prince william and prince harry would of grew up staid and pompos like their dad and grandmother. It is through diana that we see both prince's loving life as 'NORMAL' as they can. the out pouring of grief for this beautiful lady can be heard quite vocally on this video. long live princess di!! :o(

[@szqsk8]

I remember watching this live and with the time difference in California it was the middle of the night for us. After the coverage ended we received a call from a relative telling us my husband's father had passed away a few hours earlier.

[@Melonedx1]

This is extremely moving; I was 4 years old when this happened and I still feel very strongly about it. It was a terrible tragedy. I only wish she was there today to see her eldest son on the most poignant day of his life. He and Catherine would have made her so proud.

[@babsnadoy]

I'm pretty sure those are sounds of mourning, not laughter. The people around them would have had their heads if they were laughing on a time like this.

[@LeeMitchellAcoustic]

Heartbreaking...

[@lubnahassan]

she was a real peoples princess.i love you diana.RIP

[@PrincessDi1997]

It doesn't have to be swerving to be driven by a drunk driver. Nor does a drunk man necessariy swagger. As I said, Paul had built up a tolerance for alcohol so he could drink more than most without it showing so readily. That "final photo" was taken by papparazzo Jacques Langevin as the car was about to depart the back of the Ritz. He was shielding his eyes from the photographers' flashes. Check the Inquest website for the photos Langevin took.

[@robin-gg2jj]

Still so sad and so lonely watching the coffin pass by 🙏🙂

[@rossebabe]

they arnt laughing they are crying.

[@ljcach]

Beautiful comment and I agree wholeheartedly.

[@HIStoryEMD]

u can her ppl cryin 4 her!! so sad!! :/

[@holocaustdefender33]

@colchesterqueen, William made sure that his mother was not forgotten on his wedding day, he gave kate his mother's engagement ring. He and kate also visited Diana's grave shortly before the wedding!

[@SuperBearita]

this the saddest of human history

[@PrincessDi1997]

He gave a statement to the French Judge, the British police and gave evidence at the inquest. Detectives were even granted unprecedented access to the MI6 building to investigate his claims and they were all found to be embellished. There was nothing untoward about the driving of the Mercedes apart from it was at twice the speed limit, so fast it could not safely negotiate the bend into the tunnel. I suppose MI6 tied a brick to the accelerator too.

[@AmandaCarless]

I saw a Jamaican flag...but I can't smile...

[@tenochgarcia5627]

Descanse en paz Diana de gales:((

[@VictoryRRR]

She was really Englands Queen.

[@luciagaleso8851]

Una vera principessa che si occupava degli ultimi

[@631cholita]

very nice this video.

[@darepow]

@df61660a they're not laughing, they're crying Reports from ppl there including the press all said that other than the sobbing in the crowds there was only dead silence. It was very sad.

[@christepherrogers4485]

rip Dania

[@Clarinetish90]

some people deal with grief differently than others. it's a coping mechanism.

[@robinquinc329]

@mjgc8755 Let's not compare. They both used their positions to help those less fortunate than them. They did it not b/c they had to, but b/c they wanted to.

[@PrincessDi1997]

Trevor has always denied saying that and it's obvious Fayed got the housekeeper (who was working for him, not Trevor) to say it. Why always believe what a corrupt and selfish billionaire says? I've put links to undeniable evidence about the photo in the description, including a link to another set of photos showing Trevor sheidling his eyes but taken from the side of the car.

[@oscarbernardo4829]

Su alma inmortal reposa con los ángeles, y su cuerpo yace en la tumba de los Spencer. (After Shakespeare"s Romeo and Juliet)

[@PrincessDi1997]

It's not a matter of defending anyone; it's a matter of evidence and facts and these have been established through exhaustive inquiries in France and England and a very expensive inquest have all shown that those attacking not only the royal family but close friends of Diana and her sister and sons are speaking complete fabricated nonsense when they persistently claim she was murdered in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

[@iampuregold]

@xane1990 I totally agree with you! May their souls rest in perfect peace!

[@mjgc8755]

MJ gave $300 million to charity... he helped as many if not more people than Lady Diana in his career peak and through the late 90's and early 00's.

[@babyzinha30]

Tragic

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

The people wailing was a very primitive reaction, bound up with a sense of national identity. Logic is suspended in a moment of ritual - impulse takes over.

[@jessicaboughen]

I agree xane

[@rockabillyjulz95]

how old was she wen she past ? n may she rest in peace

[@robinquinc329]

@stevietsuvideos How were they good friends? Diana and Michael met only on two or three occasions, according to her butler. Does that make the two good friends?

[@nureinherz]

@AiimeeJaneex: What do you mean by this? Could you please explain it because I don´t understand what you are saying here

[@PrincessDi1997]

Strobe Gun Plot? Remote Controlled Technology used to disable the brakes? Where you there or something? Is there any footage of this? Do you not know what a cover up isn't? We do know the speed of the car at the point of impact was 63 to 65 mph (in a 30mph zone) from Transport Research Lab tests on similar 1994 Mercedes S280s. Trevor didn't know he was pissed. Only thing was once King Fayed said it was OK to go with a habitual drunk as a driver, they'd lose their jobs if they spoke up.

[@PrincessDi1997]

No, he sent Hillary as his deputy. Shame, I think Bill and Diana have a lot in common in terms of their sad childhoods, common touch and compassion, especially for AIDS sufferers. It was said at the Inquest that Diana had spoken to Bill and Hillary about coming to live in their country but decided against it once she was in her relationship with Hasnat Khan, a prominent Muslim surgeon she considered marrying.

[@samanthac9185]

they are crying not laughing

[@xane1990]

2 ppl who really deserve peace.....Princess Diana and Michael Jackson.The media really messed up their lives and i wish them peace and happiness wherever they are

[@TheAnn2shoes]

@df61660a I think they are crying out loud, not laughing

[@PrincessDi1997]

I know because respected expects gave evidence under oath about it. Of course you'll argue that alcohol affects everyone exactly the same way. Two witnesses (the barman who served him 2 ricards and a pappazzi driver with an alcoholic father) both testified he looked drunk and they'd more likely know what a drunk person looks like. Tomlinson didn't make national headlines because he's a self-publicist and it's obvious he's lying. Motorbikes or not, it's clear it was an accident.

[@MovieMad007]

@xane1990 don't even go there by putting M jackson on the same plinth as the Princess of Wales. Diana was Royalty and died in a horrific car accident. Jacko was a popstar.

[@mrpass1967]

i think ppl are crying not laughing

[@PrincessDi1997]

He was presumably too busy spending his Saturday morning flying his Boeing 707 to a scientologist brainwashing ceremony that'll cure your dyslexia too. The "church" of scientology had its #1 poster boy and couch jumper, Tom Cruise, as its delegate to the Funeral. He had Nicole Kidman, also known as his ex-wife, along too.

[@PrincessDi1997]

He was writing a self-serving book before the *accident* which I have examined and the changes he made to it in late 1997 revealed him to be a liar. I would think MI5 (or MI6) have better things to do, such as protecting the public, than going to ridiculous lengths to cover up something that didn't happen. The strobe gun accuser is a French petty criminal who, like Tomlinson, enjoys getting himself on TV. Stop believing in nonsense.You should watch the documentary I have featured on my channel.

[@tamara229]

@df61660a theyre crying, not laughing.

[@kid70s1]

ooo

[@johnissoevil]

People who make jokes like this can bite me.

[@Bryanccc3]

What were the people tossing at the casket?

[@dudethisisstupid]

why the hell are people laughing while this? its a funeral..

[@PrincessDi1997]

Isn't Diana a hobby?

[@XxCrazygal2007xX]

Why are people crying like that? Don't get me wrong it was very sad what happened to her but in my eyes the only people who have the right to cry over her like that are those who knew her, such as her brother and of course William and Harry.

[@thenanlife1141]

Can only imagine what princess dianas boys went through this day xx💖💖💖💖

[@christepherrogers4485]

rip Dania

[@petalovespongy]

Such a beautiful and inspirational woman

[@orikenevaipae8347]

1st time watching it, what a marvelous scene; what a great loss for people all over the world, though we had never really met her in life, but her legacy will live on in our hearts. She was such an elegant and beautiful rose. I love roses, their shapes, their smell, their lovely colors, she was sure a "ROSE" of London.

[@thenanlife1141]

Everyone’s heart was broken that day 💖💖💖

[@MIZHOG]

I was never a fan but this is one of the saddest things.. she seemed to mean so much to people

Michael Jackson and Lady Diana were close friends, it was their choice, and their right to chose their own friends. Love them both!

[@dottiedots221]

7:04 is so heartbreaking :'( RIP

[@BoulevardeTV]

Diana was a beautiful woman and she is missed and i adore and respect her. But I did not understand why people are crying like insain.......they did not know her personally...it's like the jfk thing again

[@TheAnn2shoes]

I have to say, that nobody 'does' big funerals like the British do. We are the best!

[@PrincessDi1997]

It's obvious you've only read the facrications to support the conspiracy theories: never mind 3 year police investigations, 2 year judicial inquiries or a 6 month inquest. Photos of the scene show the crashed car with its brake lights on (links in description) Only Levistre claimed to see a bright flash and he saw it in between his spells in French prisons. Let's just waste another 12 million of public money and the time of countless police officers just to put your mind at rest shall we?

[@1980swartz]

princess diana taken from us way too early r.i.p. diana till we meet again

[@eohare1000]

@LostProphet1776 i know did you hear them crying at the start

I will never forget those bells...

Camila will NEVER take Diana's place in all over the world. Not even William's wife; DIANA will never be forgotten.

[@PrincessDi1997]

Well 11 and a half.... I was outside Ken Palace for the 10th anniversary.

[@brigadello]

They are actually crying..

[@rogiechawngthu2167]

saw long my princess

[@JuanJohnSmith]

even though now im learning abou ther more she will always be a rold model to me why did she have to go so young.... :'(

[@owenpeterson]

From what I have learned, there was a memorial service held at the Washington National Cathedral for Diana on the same day as the funeral so chances are Bill might have attended that. But I would have prefered if the American congrigation of the Funeral were bigger with the living US presidents and first ladies at the time in attendence at Westminster Abbey. If you don't mind my saying so.

[@EssexResident2000]

was 4 when this was broadcast! Strange that i didn't cry during this, but cried during Schindler's list!

[@robinquinc329]

@nureinherz Close friends?! According to her butler, they only met on two or three occassions, after his concerts in London. Michael said that they were friends, but that was only in his mind.
