The Dean of Westminster personally appealed to Buckingham Palace to allow British star Elton John to sing a version of his hit song"Candle In The Wind" at the funeral of Princess Diana, according to newly released government files.
Papers released by the UK National Archives suggest there was resistance to the plan over concerns the rewritten lyrics were"too sentimental," reported PA Media. The Abbey even arranged for a saxophonist to be put on standby to deliver a solo instrumental version of the song, but this was considered to be a"very second best shot."Elton John pictured after being made a member of the Order of the Companions of Honour for services to Music and to Charity in November 2021.
