Michael Jackson Funeral
The Michael Jackson Funeral started with a private service at Forest Lawn at 8 am.
Although it was publicly announced there would be no procession afterwards, that was a ruse to reduce the number of people lining the roads and freeways. The LAPD blocked all traffic as the Michael Jackson motorcade proceeded from Forest Lawn to the Staples Center.
The public memorial ceremony followed:
Date: July 7, 2009
Time: 10:00 am
Place: Staples Center
