Riddle 1 - the heart
Riddle 2 - one (a big one!)
Riddle 3 - the second Prime Minister of Australia
Riddle 4 - because he died in London
Riddle 5 - chop the “s” off seven, you get six, so, answer is “seven”
Riddle 6 - You have given us a capital "E", so, each one is a “capital”
Riddle 7 - thought of chrysalis, but no... The trouble is the verb to "devour"!
Riddle 8 - the letter “e”

Riddle 10 - the stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--the famous song being the 1997 remake of : "A candle in the wind", sung by Elton John at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, in Westminster Abbeye, on 6th September 1997--
