U-S President Bill Clinton and his family, politicians, actors and dozens of loved ones crowded into a Manhattan church on Friday to celebrate the lives of J-F-K Junior and his wife Carolyn Bessette.
The pair were killed along with Carolyn's sister Lauren Bessette when the light aircraft John Kennedy Junior was piloting plummeted to the sea last weekend.
At this Manhattan church on Friday, friends and family of John F. Kennedy Junior and his wife Carolyn Bessette gathered to pay their last respects.
The pair were killed along with Carolyn's sister Lauren when Kennedy's light aircraft dropped out of the sky and into the Atlantic Ocean off Martha's Vineyard last Saturday night.
Among the mourners were boxing champ Muhammad Ali, Kennedy cousin Maria Shriver and husband Arnold Schwarzenegger, A-B-C's Diane Sawyer and hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean -- who's said to be the soloist for the service.
The Clintons and daughter Chelsea were also at the memorial Mass.
Crowds were being kept at bay more than a half-block away from the church.
Several hundred mourners have filled the Manhattan sidewalks in the hope of getting close to the memorial service and to contribute to the growing wall of floral and written tributes.
Some have come from as far away as Canada - a testament to the overwhelming popularity of America's favourite son.
