...people's Princess, this is most definitely the people's funeral. Across the country shops will shut, trains will stop, soccer matches and horse races will be cancelled and a two-minute silence will be observed. Westminster Abbey's program combines "traditional and modern elements" ? that means Elton as well as Elgar. Even the Palace has been infected by the need to accomodate an overwhelming grief: the Lord Chamberlain's office is manning a media-friendly "Command Center", connected to over 20 million phone lines...
...memorial Mass, few could bring themselves to wear anything but sober black. More than 2,000 mourners, from family and fashion-industry friends to some of the world's most celebrated clotheshorses, including PRINCESS DIANA and CAROLYN BESSETTE KENNEDY, gathered in the Duomo in Milan, where ELTON JOHN and STING (who wore Versace to his wedding to TRUDIE STYLER) performed an a cappella rendition of Psalm 23, The Lord Is My Shepherd.

Earlier in the day, some 2,000 people, including Princess Diana, Elton John and Naomi Campbell, joined the Versace family for an emotional, star-studded memorial service in Milan's 600-year old cathedral...
...autobiographical movie, Tantrums and Tiaras, ELTON JOHN reveals that he never travels without a tiara or two (and trunkloads of loud suits). Now he finally has some fashionable frocks to go with them. While he may not have the traditional ectomorphic build of the supermodels, John certainly has a similarly mesomorphic ego. And as this photo (shot by Richard Avedon for Gianni Versace) reveals, a little makeup--or even a lot--and the right attitude work wonders. "Elton is more than a pal for me: he's my brother by choice," coos Versace, for whose runway shows John often writes...
