Projected on the walls on either side of the sanctuary this morning are the words, “A Celebration Fit For The Queen.” And indeed it was.
The Queen of Soul was dressed all in gold.
In the church lobby beautiful floral arrangements from famous friends including Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross greeted attendees as soon as they walked in.
Early arrivals included Omarosa, Jennifer Holliday and Rev. Jesse Jackson, and the mood in the church was respectful and almost celebratory as people greeted each other with hugs.
The crowds filed past Franklin’s open casket and were directed to not linger.
Outside, a big screen was set up at a gas station up the street so fans could watch the service there, too.
