Michael Jackson’s memorial service is being televised on major television networks across the World. Thousands gathered around the Staple Center, in downtown Los Angeles, to pay their last respect to the King of Pop. Michael Jackson's body arrived at the memorial service after Jackson's family and closest friends attended a gathering at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills before going to the public memorial. People waited patiently, talking to each other, taking pictures and singing Jackson songs. Some fans were excited, others somber, as they entered the arena. The memorial service began with Smokey Robinson reading a personal message from Diana Ross "Michael was a personal love of mine, a treasured part of my life, part of the fabric of my life, and the way that I can't seem to find words to express". Robinson also read a message from Nelson Mandela, saying they had grown close after trips and performances in South Africa. "We had great admiration for his talent and that he was able to triumph over tragedy on so many occasions in his life. Michael was a giant and a legend in the music industry. And we mourn with the millions of fans worldwide," Robinson said, relaying Mandela's message. "We also mourn with his family and his friends over the loss of our dear friend."
