Jackson’s Hearse Followed to Staples Center for Memorial
Michael Jackson’s hearse was filmed en route to the Staples Center in Los Angeles yesterday as mourners and fans awaited the public memorial service that followed the private funeral ceremony with friends and family.
Cameras and funeral cars followed the pop star’s hearse as it left Forest Lawn Cemetery as Los Angeles braced for one of the biggest memorial services in the history of the city. Stars flooded the Staples Center in their funeral cars, but the real attention goes to Jackson’s kids. Paris Jackson, his 11-year-old daughter, had this to say about the death of her father: “Ever since I was born, daddy had been the best father you could ever imagine.” She is the second of Jackson’s three children. She went on to say the following: “And I just want to say that I love him so much,” as she broke down in tears in the arms of Janet Jackson, Michael’s sister. That was the first time the world heard from Jackson’s children.
People at home also attended the memorial in cyberspace. Reports say that Web traffic all over the globe was up by more than 30 percent and millions of television sets were set to the memorial service as well.
