Thousands attend TLC star's funeral

Thousands of people packed a large Georgia church today for the funeral of Lisa ‘‘Left Eye’’ Lopes, the colourful rapper in the R&B trio TLC. She died in a car crash a week ago in Honduras.

The funeral at Lithonia was open to the public, and hundreds of fans lined up in the early morning to get inside the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, which holds 10,000 people.
