Prince William and Prince Harry will mark the 10th anniversary of their mother's death with an event to celebrate her life.

Proceeds from the concert will go to charities supported by the late Princess, and to charities of which the Princes are Patrons.

I think this is a great thing to remember Diana. Her sons seem to be really happy with this, and the guys have grown up into respectable adults. And I like that this isn't a money making scheme, it's just to celebrate her life.

I have a secret hidden love for anything British, so I love watching any of the British performers, like Lily Allen.

I won't watch this all day since I have stuff to do, but whenever I have a second I'll flip to it. Anyone else watching? It's airing on VH1 in the US, and CTV in Canada.`

I am watching on and off. Is this concert for charity? I don't see any phone numbers on the screen.

It is for charity, but the proceeds from ticket sales are going to charity. There's no donations being taken.

They're splitting the proceeds to three seperate charities: Diana's favorite, William's favorite, and Harry's favorite.

I would like to see something from the monarchy, like Prince Charles... but I doubt that's happening.

Fergie was great but P Diddy was fantastic!

I agree. He gave a great performance, and "I'll Be Missing You" is perfect for the occasion.

Kinda disappointed that Elton John didn't sing "Candle in the Wind"

I think EJ has said that he will never sing that version of the song again.
