Jackson’s funeral service was held at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Ca. — the same place where pop singer Michael Jackson’s funeral was held back in 2009.

The late Motown legend departed from the music industry having received a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, three Grammy nominations as part of the Jackson 5 and produced two solo albums.

Take a look at everyone who attended the singer’s sendoff through photos:
