Tickets on sale for Diana concert - Dec 13 2006
Tickets for Prince William and Prince Harry’s Concert for Diana in memory of their mother go on sale today.
The moving tribute, expected to feature some of the biggest names in pop, will take place next year on what would have been the Princess’s 46th birthday.
More than 60,000 people are expected to gather at the new £757 million Wembley Stadium on July 1 for the celebration of her life.
William and Harry announced their plans to mark the 10th anniversary of Diana’s death yesterday.
The line-up, which has not been revealed in full, so far includes Sir Elton John, Diana’s favourite band Duran Duran, Joss Stone and hip hop artist Pharrell Williams.
The Princes will also gather to remember the Princess at a memorial service on August 31 - the day she died in a car crash in Paris a decade ago.
William said he wanted the pop concert to be "the best birthday present" his mother ever had.
He added: "We wanted to have this big concert full of energy, full of the sort of fun and happiness which I know she would have wanted."
Proceeds from the Live Aid-style event will go to charity - including some of the causes closest to the late Princess’s heart.
Both events are expected to be televised, with thousands watching the high-profile commemorations.
