My tribute to Lady Diana and Elton John's tribute to her a reworking of Candle in the Wind which is also a tribute to the passion and sharing of youtubers.

By the way the first singer and my most sampled is bemacbe who not only looks like he should be in the Proclaimers but lost his voice as a result of a terrible car crash - good luck fella !

The introduction is from Samuel Beckett's bleak and absurdist masterpiece Waiting for Godot and the ending from Shakespeare's Macbeth.Thankfully Simon Cowell keeps his gob shut this time !

Many thanks to all the youtubers I nicked clips from - I love you all and each one of you in your own way has contributed to marvellous performances.Check out theri perfomances from my playlist Candle in the Wind.

"Astride of a grave and a difficult birth, down in the hole, lingeringly, the gravedigger puts on the forceps. We have time to grow old- the air is full of our cries."

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19--28
