Star-studded concert remembers Diana

---

LONDON, July 2 (AFP): Sir Elton John closed a star- studded concert Sunday in memory of Princess Diana, with police looking on at London's Wembley stadium a day after Britain went on maximum security alert.
Over 60,000 fans joined Britain's Princes William and Harry for the six-hour long extravaganza in memory of their late mother, who would have turned 46 years old this weekend.
The princes took the stage before the show, Harry with a rousing "Hello, Wembley" while William said the event "is about all that our mother loved in life-her music, her dancing, her charities and her family and friends."
Then Elton, a close friend of the late princess, got the poignant gig under way with his hit "Your Song," sung against the backdrop of huge black-and-white photos of Diana by star photographer Mario Testino.
Other performers included Diana's favourites like Duran Duran and Supertramp.
While there had been rumours that Elton planned to close the show with a rendition of "Candle in the Wind," which he sang at Diana's funeral in 1997, instead he finished the night with "Are You Ready."
Despite the safety fears, fans and stars alike were determined to celebrate Diana's life as they arrived for the concert, which ended at 10:15 pm (2115 GMT).
"I think it's a really good tribute to her," said Sam Mitchell, 32, who travelled from Suffolk, northeast of London. "I think she would love it. There are a lot of bands that she liked."
Extra security measures were ordered after a double car bombing plot was foiled in London on Friday followed by an attack Saturday at Glasgow airport in which a blazing car rammed into the main terminal building.
On Saturday the government raised the national threat level to "critical," the highest possible, meaning that another attack is expected imminently.
The Diana concert was an obvious target. "Policing terms for this event have been thoroughly reviewed by the command team," said a spokesman for Scotland Yard, which is coordinating response to the London failed attacks.
