Just wondering how many got up early in the morning to watch the coverage on TV1 and TV3? I watched the highlights on the news and the one hour special TV1 had in the afternoon, kicking myself now as I wish I had of watched the whole thing.
So heartbreaking when his daughter Paris got up to say goodbye to her Daddy, makes me teary eyed everytime they replay it 
He really was an amazing man and clearly had a very big influence on A LOT of people, regardless of all the accusations and scrutiny over his appearance and life choices - he will be sorely missed. I think they gave him a wonderful send off personally, really hoping they manage to play full coverage again at a more suitable/prime time. |

I agree. It was an amazing memorial!!! Despite everything else, he was one of the worlds best performers, singers and song writers.
His beautiful Daughter Paris was very brave and she did an awesome job. And yep makes me teary every time they play it
RIP MJ ------------- Our Angel July 08  Gone but not forgotten
And to complete our family, our princess has arrived
