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 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. - bbc news

It's about time nga ilubong na ni siya
wala man gi mention bahin sa service
  kay nibalhin man ni siya ug Islam nga
  religion, so they  must have a different
  way of handling the funeral,
   just wondering.

Nakapahuway  na  jud  intawon iyang  kalag.

In a true Islam tradition, dead are buried within 24 hours wrapped in white linen.

Wala diay  sija  mabunjagi  siguro  sa  pagka  Islam?

1989 -Michael's  brother Jeremiah joined the Nation of Islam.
       Jeremiah urged his brother Michael to follow his footsteps.
Dec. 18, 2003 -the New York Post reported, "Michael Jackson
                    has become a member of the black group
                    Nation of Islam"
Feb. 24, 2007 -the San Francisco Chronicle followed up,
                    "Pop superstar Michael Jackson has confirmed
                     his conversion to Islam according to reports
                     in the Middle East"
