With the funeral of Michael Jackson taking place now, fans have traveled from all over to come to Los Angeles to participate in memorial services, bringing the King of Pop to rest at the Forest Lawn Cemetery. Earlier today, his family had the chance to say goodbye to the late member of their family.

Live streaming video of the memorial will be available online of the proceedings, as an opportunity for fans around the world to view it in real-time without being there in person.

However, there were fans who took the journey from as far away as England in order to be at the event in person. A fan who drove from Arkansas told the Associated Press, “I’m just a groupie. I’m an old groupie now. I’m a die-hard, true fan.”
