He lived in the spotlight from the age of 10, and he died in it
as well, with the nation glued to their TV sets. Now Michael
Jackson's fans are waiting to publicly mourn him. His funeral, to
be held Tuesday at Los Angeles's Staples Center, according to
news reports, could be huge. It's possible that it will eclipse
Elvis's (75,000 fans congregated in Memphis, Tenn.) and rival
Princess Diana's (250,000 people in Hyde Park), according to the
Daily Telegraph. But what exactly can we expect? A prominent
friend of the Jackson family who asked to remain anonymous offers

From Elvis Presley to Princess Diana, iconic funerals are often
marked by massive crowds, celebrity mourners and gut-wrenching
emotion - and Michael Jackson's memorial will be no different.
More than one million people are expected to pay homage to the
King of Pop at his funeral, an event which could dwarf the
memorial services held for Presley in 1977 and Diana 20 years
later, experts say. Plans for Jackson's memorial began to filter
out Tuesday, with reports saying the tragic icon would make a
poignant return by motorcade to his Neverland fantasy ranch on
Thursday. A public viewing of Jackson's body is planned for
Friday before private services for his family take place at the
weekend. (Source: The Vancouver Sun)

can pay their respects until funeral plans are finalized, media
reports said Tuesday. Visitors will be allowed to see the body on
Friday and a private memorial service for family only will be
held Sunday, the reports said, citing unnamed law enforcement
sources preparing to handle traffic tie-ups from a 30-car
motorcade. (Source: USA Today)
