| Bahamas funeral for Anna Nicole |
Mourners have attended the funeral of the former model Anna Nicole Smith at a church in the Bahamian capital, Nassau.
Pallbearers in pink ties carried her coffin down a red carpet. She will be buried in a pink gown and tiara beside her son Daniel, 20, who died last year. Ms Smith died aged 39 on 8 February in a Florida hotel room of unknown causes. Her death has triggered legal battles in the US and the Bahamas over control of her body and custody of her baby, who could inherit millions of dollars.
Three hundred people are thought to have attended the private funeral service at the Mount Horeb Baptist Church. Hundreds of islanders and tourists massed behind police-guarded barricades as guests arrived in white limousines.
Ms Smith's body arrived at the church in a white hearse and her mahogany coffin was draped in a rhinestone-studded pink blanket. The pews were decorated with pink roses.
Before the service, Richard Milstein, the court-appointed guardian of her five-month-old daughter, Danielynn, asked the journalists and onlookers for "respect and solemnity".
"Today we share our grief with all of you. Today we come to you to carry out the final, most sacred, solemn act provided to any individual," he said. Ms Smith will be buried at Lakeview Memorial Park cemetery in a grave next to her son. About 30 friends and family members are expected to attend. |
