Michael Jackson, The Memorial - Jennifer Hudson performing "Will you be there"

Fans, family, friends and stars are saying farewell to Michael Jackson at a memorial service in Los Angeles.
His coffin was carried into the Staples Center in Los Angeles by his brothers following an earlier private funeral.

It was put in front of the stage as his siblings, parents and children sat in the front row, with the brothers wearing single jewelled gloves.

Stevie Wonder paid tribute, saying: "This is a moment I wished I didn't live to see come. Michael I love you."
The crowd cheered as the golden flower-draped coffin entered the arena to the strains of a choir singing "Hallelujah, hallelujah, we're going to see the King" from the song Soon And Very Soon.


Other people taking part include Usher, Jennifer Hudson and Britain's Got Talent finalist Shaheen Jafargholi, who has played the young Michael Jackson in the musical Thriller - Live.
