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.

i can't believe there are people laughing in the background...

I still cannot understand that she is dead. Someone like her, is not suppose to die that young. She was suppose to become truely happy, and to see her grand children grow up.

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.

@df61660a they are crying, not laughing.

i find it devastating that this beautiful princess died at such a young age. it's true, life is too short

R.I.P diana

It's such a shame she missed william's wedding, i'm sure she would've loved to have seen her eldest son get married.

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(

@porkandbeans1991 Maybe not....some people really do freak when they see a casket of someone they loved/admired. It makes it more real when you see that. Trust me. Been there...
