Princess Diana's Funeral Part 7: Elton John & George Michael

The procession clears Hyde Park and goes through the Wellington Arch toward Buckingham Palace. Chris De Burgh arrives at the Abbey after Tony Blair and his wife Cherie. But first we see Elton John arriving with his then boyfriend, later his "Civil Partner", David Furnish and are joined by their friend George Michael. Elton and David got married in a Civil Partnership when they became legal in Britain in 2005.

PeteGeeza86, What's wrong with being gay? I'm surprised that you're shocked. It's something that's been going on since time began except that it's only recently that it's become acceptable. One can't help the way one's born - black, brown, white, hetero/homosexual - whatever. It all adds to life's rich tapestry. How boring it would be if we were all the same. Throw off your prejudices and embrace the world and its differences and you'll become a more tolerant and likeable individual.

The British do not pronounce the letter "R",and "Park" sounds like "Pack".

time is interesting one month earlier Diana was consoling Elton at their friend's Gianni Versace funeral never did it occur that Sir Elton would be singing at his friend's Diana's funeral was not a good summer for Elton a Summer Horiblis. He kept together though, and lastly Diana's death was a conspiracy don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
