Dear List ...
 
As a 38 year old stuff-shirt church musician, a teenager in the '70's and yet
 
could not name one hit song by Elton John (I needed a life even then :)
 
I must say his appearance at Diana's funeral was entirely appropriate
and yes, extremely moving.  The idea was initially a little alarming, I
admit,
but surely no one who has seen the broadcast can still object, I hope??
