A sea of flowers left for the fallen Princess of Wales
Will Michael Jackson's funeral prove a bigger spectacle than Princess Diana's?
Although funeral arrangements have not yet been officially announced for the fallen King of Pop, it is expected that Jackson's memorial service could bring forth the largest fan attendance and outpouring of public emotion since the death and funeral of Princess Diana in 1997.
Jackson's funeral, as some media analysts believe, could draw tens of thousands of mourners and hundreds of millions of television viewers.
In 1977, the funeral of Elvis Presley drew nearly 80,000 fans to the streets near the rock king's Graceland estate in Tennessee.
Princess Diana's funeral attracted more than one-quarter million spectators.
The unexpected death of the Princess of Wales immediately provoked a frenzy of memorials ranging from statements by world leaders to mass street vigils and memorials across the UK and throughout the world.
Expectations for Jackson's funeral, however, are even larger.
