Michael Jackson's memorial service took place today from the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. It was also the site for rehearsals, leading up to his death, for his 'This Is It' London tour, which would of taken place in the coming weeks. Today's memorial was a teary eyed occasions for family, friends and fans.

I was able to view and enjoy what turned out to be a worldwide opportunity for mourning and celebration. With words from Lionel Ritchie, Queen Latifah, Al Sharpton, Barry Gordie and Smokey Robinson, it was indeed moving. Brooke Shields was also in attendance with a heart felt and very emotional farewell to her good friend of many, many years. With performances by Mariah Carey, Usher, John Mayer and Stevie Wonder it brought everyone to tears and then to applause. Here are some photos that we will remember, and never forget.

I accompanied the pictures with Michael Jackson's ballad, Gone Too Soon, which was originally written for Ryan White. Ryan White was a hemophiliac from a very young age that was diagnosed with AIDS in the mid 80's. He became friends with Michael Jackson and gained worldwide attention until his death in 1990. With this video we also remember Ryan White who brought to light the issues and questions that so many were afraid to ask back then. He was a brave and strong individual that we could all learn something from.

Here are pictures from the memorial service, held today, July 7 2009.

Goodbye Michael Jackson,

We'll always love you.
