Michael Jackson Burial (Funeral) The King of Pop Michal Jackson Finally Laid To rest

Friends and family of Michael Jackson have paid their last respects to the singer known as the King of Pop at a funeral ceremony outside Los Angeles.

Dame Elizabeth Taylor, actor Macaulay Culkin and music producer Quincy Jones were among the 200 invited guests.

Gladys Knight sang at the service while civil rights campaigner the Reverend Al Sharpton was one of the speakers.

The ceremony was due to begin at 0200 GMT at Glendale's Forest Lawn Memorial Park but began more than an hour late.

The singer's gold-plated casket was adorned with flowers
The delay was caused by the late arrival of the singer's family, who eventually arrived in a motorcade of 31 vehicles.

Jackson's brothers - Randy, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon - acted as pallbearers as his gold-plated coffin was removed from a hearse.

All were dressed identically in black suits, with each wearing a solitary white glove - a fashion statement made famous by their legendary sibling.

The singer's children - Prince Michael, 12, Paris, 11, and seven-year-old Prince Michael II - sat in the front row next to his parents, Katherine and Joe Jackson.

Comedian Chris Tucker, producer Berry Gordy and Lisa Marie Presley, Jackson's ex-wife, also attended.

The service took place after dark in the open air outside Forest Lawn's Great Mausoleum.

Just because they were laughing does not mean they aren't sad. Katherine, Paris and Janet, the people that were closest to him had a look of pain. Of course they would have been in deep sadness, but I know for a fact that some were sharing stories about Michael. That's what people did at my uncle's funeral. During the service, funny stories about Michael were told. A funeral doesn't always have to involve tears. Do not judge others just because they don't work the same way as you.

Sometimes I forge that he's already gone... then when I remember tears will start to fall even if I don't want to cry... why did you leave us MJ? It's been tragic since you left.

no words will ever be able to describe the feelings since we lost you. Seeing this especially breaks my heart...and i feel that 10 years later will hurt like it does today....i will never be the same person for the rest of my life.

RIP - that's all for L.O.V.E. and love lives forever
