Concert for Diana 纪念戴安娜音乐会 Concert for Diana 纪念戴安娜音乐会 1 Concert for Diana 纪念戴安娜音乐会 The Princes Pay Tribute to their Mother 两位王子登台致词 Read the text below and do the activity that follows. 阅读下面的短文，然后 完成练习: 1st July, 2007 would have been the 46th birthday of Diana, Princess of Wales. 2007 also sees the 10th anniversary of her untimely death in a car accident. Her two sons Prince William and Prince Harry were very keen to mark these two occasions in some way, so they came up with the idea of a concert. They wanted a happy event to celebrate her life and a special concert in memory of their mother, featuring her favourite bands, seemed the right way to do it. The concert took place on 1st July at the brand new Wembley Stadium. 63,000 people turned up to see the six-hour show, which was broadcast to 140 countries around the world. 14.8 million people in the UK alone tuned in to watch the extravaganza. Elton John, who also played at Diana's funeral, opened the show with his hit Your Song. A host of other stars appeared including Rod Stewart, P Diddy, Nelly Furtado and Take That to name but a few. There was also a performance from the English National Ballet and stars also performed songs from famous Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals. The princes watched the concert with their friends and they were seen on their feet dancing, clapping and singing throughout the show. Prince William and Harry took to the stage towards the beginning of the show to introduce what was their mother's favourite band, 1980s stars Duran Duran. They also came back at the end of the concert to thank everyone who helped to celebrate Diana's life with them. William told the crowd it had been "the most perfect way to remember her, and this is how she would want to be remembered." Nelson Mandela, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and others recorded video tributes and the concert ended with video footage from Diana's childhood. Proceeds from the concert will go to charities the Princess supported when she was alive. 2 Glossary 词汇表 untimely death – 过早地过世 to mark – 纪念 came up with the idea – 提出这一 in memory of – 为了纪念 …… 想法 brand new – 崭新的 turned up – 到场 broadcast – 转播 tuned in – 收视 extravaganza – 盛事 hit – 成功曲目 a host of other stars – 众多明星 to name but a few – （在众多明星 中）简单地列举几个 on their feet – 站着 took to the stage – 登台 crowd – 观众, 众人 former – 前任 Prime Minister – 首相 video tributes – 致词录像 footage – 录像 proceeds – 收益 1.

  • The Life and Death of an Icon Facil Ute Core Core Tie Modiam, Conulla
    WW | xxxxxxxx THIS STORY ALWAYS HAD everything, didn’t it? The blushing young innocent who transformed herself into the most adored – and most hunted – woman in the world. The Cinderella who found her Prince Charming – or thought she did – and then entered the palace via the golden carriage. The fairytale but fraudulent wedding of the century, followed by that grim parable of death in the Paris tunnel. The romance, the adultery, the royal intrigue, the eternal, hopeless quest for love, the media’s crazed preoccupation and pursuit. TIn her lifetime, Diana was the People’s Princess who, in death, became the Sleeping Beauty and the Lady of the Lake. She was the stuff that myths are made of and, like her or not, believe it or not, hers was a tale of epic, monumental proportions, that mesmerised the world for 16 years – from the time she walked down the aisle in St Paul’s Cathedral to the time of her funeral in Westiminster Abbey, witnessed by, what was it, a quarter of the world’s population? permafrost and the duke’s Teutonic coldness Think of Marilyn Monroe, Princess Grace, to Diana’s single-minded pursuit of Prince Greta Garbo, Jackie Onassis, perhaps even Charles and her elder son, William’s, interest Mother Theresa, and roll them into one in becoming governor-general of Australia. iconic figure, and you might approach the The Diana Spencer that emerges from fame, the celebrity of Diana Spencer, the pages of Tina Brown’s The Diana Celebrated editor Tina Princess of Wales.

  • Princess Diana –
    Princess Diana – Legend of the month “They say it is better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable, but how about a compromise like moderately rich and just moody?” —Princess Diana Born Diana Spencer on July 1, 1961, Princess Diana became Lady Diana Spencer after her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. She married heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, on July 29, 1981. They had two sons and later divorced in 1996. Diana died in a car crash after trying to escape the paparazzi in Paris on the night of August 30, 1997. Aristocratic Upbringing British royalty Princess Diana Spencer was born on July 1, 1961, near Sandringham, England. Diana, Princess of Wales, was one of the most adored members of the British royal family. She was the daughter of Edward John Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and Frances Ruth Burke Roche, Viscountess Althorp (later known as the Honorable Frances Shand Kydd). Her parents divorced when Diana was young, and her father won custody of her and her siblings. She was educated first at Riddlesworth Hall and then went to boarding school at West Heath School. She became Lady Diana Spencer after her father inherited the title of Earl Spencer in 1975. Although she was known for her shyness growing up, she did show an interest in music and dancing.

  • Remembering Princess Diana with CCTV
    humanities Article Surveillance and Social Memory: Remembering Princess Diana with CCTV Nicole Falkenhayner English Seminar, Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Rempartstr. 15, Freiburg 79085, Germany; [email protected] Academic Editor: Peta Tait Received: 30 May 2016; Accepted: 17 August 2016; Published: 1 September 2016 Abstract: Since the 1990s, surveillance camera images have experienced a function creep from their juridical uses into journalism and entertainment. In these contexts, the images have also become memory media. This article, for the first time, analyses CCTV images, meaning closed circuit surveillance camera images, as memory media and discusses the implications of our use of artefacts of control within a frame of mediated constructions of social memory. The article undertakes this work by analyzing remediations of the CCTV images of Diana Spencer and Dodi Al-Fayed in the Ritz Hotel in Paris on 30 August 1997 in television news and a documentary from 2007 and 2011, respectively. It is shown how social memory of Diana’s death is a contested site, in which the images play a specific role. Keywords: Surveillance; images; social memory; social emotion; experientiality; narration; mediatisation; Princess Diana 1. Introduction On the morning of 1 September 1997, the world woke up to the news of the death of Princess Diana and her recent lover, Dodi Al-Fayed, in a car crash in Paris. The death of Princess Diana had an enormous impact on the civil and emotional culture of the UK, making it a stable part of British, but also global, social memory [1]. The CCTV images, meaning closed circuit surveillance camera images, that were made by surveillance cameras in the Ritz Hotel were affect-affording in the narrations of Diana’s death.

Adrian Hernandez: Hi, this is Adrian Hernandez, and I'm one of the NIH Collaboratory Grand Rounds moderators, and today we're here with several people from Survivor Corps to reflect and discuss what they did recently to address patient experiences seeking medical care around COVID-19. So I'm here with Diana, Natalie, Nick, who will be reflecting on what they've had to do to address these issues. So welcome to our podcast, and let me start off first with Diana, can you just tell us a little bit of how things started? Diana Berrent: Yeah, so actually we are the largest patient advocacy movement in the world, but oddly enough, we did not start out as a patient advocacy movement. I was one of the first people in the New York area to get a positive diagnosis of COVID, and one of the first people in the country to come forward with my identity, in early March of 2020. I ended up having a pretty average case of COVID, what I call the Tylenol and Gatorade kind, I was never hospitalized, there's nothing dramatic about it.

  • Diana and Race: Romance and the Reconfiguration of the Nation1
    Diana and Race: Romance and the Reconfiguration of the Nation1 Mica Nava This article was published in Mourning Diana: Nation, Culture and the Performance of Grief, edited by Adrian Kear and Lynn Steinberg, London: Routledge (1999). A slightly modified version entitled ‘Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed: Romance, Race and the Reconfiguration of the Nation’ was included as Chapter 7 in Mica Nava’s Visceral Cosmopolitanism: Gender, Culture and the Normalisation of Difference, Oxford: Berg (2007) Introduction Every now and again there are cultural events which freeze frame the transformed and transformative elements of a historical period. Princess Diana’s death and the week which followed exposed to the world the lineaments of a new British nation which bore no resemblance to the conventional heritage images disseminated around the globe in travel posters, films and BBC dramas over the decades since world war two and the decline of empire. The lead role, it is true, still belonged to a princess, but the supporting cast – the metropolitan populace - was composed to a remarkable extent of the visibly-different dark-skinned children and grandchildren of Britain’s former colonies, bolstered by a cosmopolitan ragbag of migrant physiognomies from around the world. And more striking still: in this new scenario the lover of the golden haired princess was dark-skinned and from somewhere else as well. The public face of Britain was no longer white. This new picture of the nation, captured and played back on the endless hours of television footage, was transmitted not only to the world outside. It registered and was constitutive of a transformation in the domestic consciousness as well.
