MUMBAI
The golden casket containing Jackson‘s body was placed in front of the stage at his memorial as a choir sang.
Several of Jackson‘s brothers, each wearing one sequined glove, served as pallbearers, carrying the coffin to the stage as the Andrae Crouch choir sang Soon and Very Soon.
But the most poignant moment was delivered by his sobbing 11-year-old daughter Paris Katherine who addressed mourners at the Staples Center last night, tearfully telling them her father was “the best father you could ever imagine.”
The girl spoke after Jackson‘s brothers Jermaine and Marlon bid tearful goodbyes to the King of Pop. “Michael, when you left us, a part of me went with you,” Marlon Jackson said. “And a part of you will live forever within me, but also a part of you will live forever within all of us.”
Jackson‘s band members, family, children and celebrities followed to sing Jackson‘s Heal the World.
